if my sugar drops I eat stuff with high carbohydrates in it , I usualy eat chocolate
I have a friend who drinks orange juice when they get lows , when I get lows a candy bar brings me back up

ok thanks for the advice

Peanut Butter and crackers are good too, unless you have a HUGE drop. Just an Idea.

Coke classic. Then some carbs.

How low? I don't recomend peanut butter because if you pass out it might block your breathing. I think having some small packs of honey are good to have on hand. Oj is fast. doctors and nurses don't educate enought about the lows. It is life or death sometimes.

You can carry glucose tablets with you. You can find those by the diabetic supplies at any pharmacy and at Wal Mart.

At home, I have Edy's Dibbs ice cream bites in the freezer. I eat about 10 of those when I feel woozy. They average out to about 1 gram of carbs each. They will melt in your mouth if the drop has you not thinking straight.

I hope this helps.
