But I recently realized that glucose tablets fit perfectly into those little M&M Minis containers. The bigger ones will hold 18 tablets and they come in several bright colors. My favorite part is that they have a flip-top lid unlike the glucose tablet tubes - I can't tell you how many caps have been dropped in the car and gotten lost.<br /><br />Also, during sports season, we use the Gatorade chews for lows. They seem to be really useful for stubborn lows that don't want to respond to treatment. And two packs of them can be removed from the outer paper packaging and carried around in the M&Ms tubes (each package has 6 chews so 2 packs allows for 3 low treatments and the tube keeps the open pack from getting dirty or squished).<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Mom of a Type 1 kidBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546751347366043230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-71068281957845384642016-08-22T20:35:10.477-04:002016-08-22T20:35:10.477-04:00My best diabetes hack?

Did I use more or less than seven a day? <br /><br />More, I may have to use less tomorrow. It is a good way to keep track, so I do not run out.Rick Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927227605885917738noreply@blogger.com
