Favourite hypo fix?

I use Dextro tabs, Jam, or Jelly Babies. Recently discovered jammy centred Wagon Wheels. They’ve got everything you need for that slow recovery so you can go to sleep on that basal insulin dip.
 
Like @Kaylz and @Lanny I find the Drumstick mini bags of Squashies (10g ish) very handy. Plus mini bags of Skittles (17g ish) or Haribo for dips where I am also active/walking.

Lucozade is always on the shelf.

And I often have a bag of Jelly Babies (6g each) in a coat pocket and can have 1-3 depending on circumstances. Tangfastics are great too.

I’d never waste a hypo on dextro plaster-of-paris 😛
