DIY Hypostop
I can't stand the taste of the real Hypostop and fight the use of it when hypo.

And if you find coke prevents to you getting back to sleep, here's a method to restore lower sugar lemonades to full sugar.

The label on the back will say

x grammes/100mls

In the old days a palatableand effective level of glucose was 10g/100ml.

So 10-x= the amount per 100ml to be added back to make an effective hypo stop.
However as children will recall sugar granules added to fizzy drinks, foam. So make a 50% solution of glucose. You will need:

10-x
where X is the amount of glucose listed per 100g on the label if the fizzy drink bottle

Multiply this amount by 40 to give you the volume of 50% sugar solution to be be added to the bottle, after having removed that amount of lemonade from the bottle.

In short, add:
40 x (10- x)mls of 50% sugar solution.

Eg
A bottle of s,market lemonade has 2.6g/100ml on the label.

So
40x(10-2.6)= 296 mls of 50% glucose solution.
Ie in a jug mix 150g granulated sugar, with 150mls boiled water. Stir. Put a plate on top, leave to cool. Drink 300ml of the weak fizzy drink. Add the 300mls 50% sugar solution.


The amounts and volumes will of depend on the concentration of sugar/100ml on the label.

PS rip the label off the lemonade bottle and on a square of paper, write
Sugar 10g/ml. Sellotape to your bottle.

This stops people fighting the bottle off you as with the original label, they,d think it's low sugar.

Breakfast
Porridge with fresh berries. 1 cup of coffee with skimmed milk

Lunch
A ham salad sandwich on wholegrain bread and a banana.

Dinner - Breast of chicken, Brocoli and mixed veg.

My Mum made me Shepherds Pie with sweet potato (yep, mummy cares about me and my health, who da thunk it 🙂 ) Delish, she used to make it with white mash before for me. The only difference is I didn't drown it in gravy....ugh....sweet pots don't go with that, I've checked *hoik*
