Ben is only just three and will not drink lucozade or any fizzy juices. He is having a LOT of hypo's these days. Previously we would start him off with 100ml fresh orange juice and this seemed to bring him up reasonably quickly but our new dsn did explain that as this was fructose rather than glucose it may not always bring him up quickly enough. Sure enough lately he has been having worse hypos and we have been using glucogel which he takes and works well. We are going through a ton of these and need to get them on prescription which is a bit of a pain. I need something which I can easy carry in my handbag and only around 10g and preferably gel or liquid form as if he is really bad he wont eat. Any suggestions?
