Does anyone know where i can get a plastic glucose tab case?
 
I know im looking for like the 2 plastic holder Hobie has one tubes too big to walk around in pocket thanks grovesy tried ebay amazon carnt find them
 
What about a sweet case like tic tacs or similar ..?
 
The problem with Dextro tabs, which I use, is with an opened pack (which is foiled paper, like a pack of Refreshers) the top one tends to dry out and become extra hard and crunchy. I use that one last, and suck it. If you are desperate to stop that, wrap the pack in cling film. Dead cheap, and effective.
 
Duk used to sell them. They are very handy & hold 4 Dextrose tablets. Have got me out of a few nasty holes. Not expensive, good luck finding them Simon. At the Newcastle meet I went down to 3.4 & only you noticed Simon. Thank You ! Ordered my bait after Dex tablets 😉
 
I have a key ring thing with space for four glucotabs, which I got from DUK.
Not sure whether they still do themimage.jpg
 
Ah - I was thinking of the rectangular Dextro Tabs.

How about an empty vaseline tin ?
 
Which test strips are you using? My Accu check Aviva pot is just a bit bigger than my freestyle pot that I had before. It is useful as it takes 2p coins whereas Freestyle didn’t (I use them for weighting my warps when weaving). Can you find someone near who uses Accu check. If not I will happily check if the glucotabs fit and send you one.

By coincidence I use Accu check Aviva and happened to use the last strip today. I can confirm that gluco tabs fit just about perfectly. I just tried one, but by the looks of it it's about half the length of the 10-tab tube so will presumably take 5 or 6. (The lid of the usual tube fits, but feels loose, so swapping that lid (which has that springy plastic thing) wouldn't work without some more mangling.)
