glucose tablets

anyone used glucose tablets in their diet?

I kept a few in my gym bag for those times when your blood sugar just drops too low during or after a workout. They're a little pricey. It's cheaper to just pick up those little tubes of cake-mate gel frosting. It's basically just glucose with a little color added. Same thing... cept you don't have to worry about choking on the damned things if you pass out. lol.

If you're feelin like you're all carb depleted or your blood sugar crashes post workout... those little things make you feel a whole world of better. heh. Now if you're really ambitious, take some r-ala along with the glucose. Bump that insulin sensitivity up a bit.

i took one after a good workout that was followed by 45min of cardio and it pick me up pretty fast. a girl i work with has diabetes bad. she wears an insulin pump and the other day popp one of those tablets. so i figured after a workout as such when i was feeling low and it work.

if i took cake frosting iam afraid i would squeeze the whole tube down whether i felt low or not.

they are a waste of $, for example if you took them with slin, they are 4g's of carbs the size on oreo, and if u took say 10 IU of slin u would need to eat 25 of these, Your way better off eating something along the lines of honey, yougurt, even candy like air heads.. or just get dextrose powder.

well i am not doing slin. and i found out keeping them in my gym bag for post workout or during cardio helps. i can not keep candy cause i gave that up and honey i keep at home, as far as yogurt goes i have that at nite after 5pm and no on the other. so for convienence tablets work.
thanks for all the other ideas.
