Downhill solution
Hi guys!
I was wondering what remedies you use when your blood sugar drops.I have tried a few glucose pills from Amazon.
The truth is that there are more and less effective ones, but I also wanted to know what you do in case you give me a better and more optimal idea.This is how we help each other.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi @GeorginaRuf,
I always carry the 5g Gluco Up dextrose tablets with me. I only use them if I am outside because they are chewable and you don't need water.
If I'm at home I have bulk dextrose from HSN which is much cheaper.

A packet of sugar, the kind they give you in the cafeteria, and one or two cookies.
Aquarius, fanta or cocacola.
I can't stand sugar alone, in pills, glucoUps or industrial juices.
En 1922 descubrieron la insulina, en 1930 la insulina lenta. ¿Que c*** han hecho desde entonces?
Well, I always carry a bag with 5 or 6 jelly beans.They are pure sugar.In my case, three or four means I recover very quickly.
