Hypoglycemia is a constant worry on the minds of all insulin dependent diabetics.  It is one of the major hazards of being a diabetic and we do anything and everything to avoid them.  There are some key points throughout the day that it is important to specifically watch for low blood sugar.

They include:

  1. When you wake up
  2. After exercising
  3. At school
  4. At work
  5. Hanging out with friends
  6. At special events such as the movies
  7. Travelling 
  8. Our the overnight period
These are important times to keep fast acting glucose handy in case of emergency.  Glucose Quick Sticks are an effective method of raising blood sugar to the desired level.  Some of the main benefits that I found were:
o   No Water Needed
o   Instant absorption upon contact with the mouth- works within minutes
o   Conveniently packaged to fit in any pocket or carrying bag
o   Superior taste to where it is not a chore to eat glucose products- tastes like candy
o   Allows for precise control and helps avoid over compensation and blood sugar spikes because they are in 10 gram increments




      I highly recommend trying these out at the Kroger pharmacy.  They run about $5.99 and come with 12 10 gram sticks in a box.  Since using them, they played a role in lowering my A1C from 8.3 to 6.9.  You can comment with any questions comments or concerns.  Print the coupon and give them a try.
