Do you bring anything with you to eat like an apple or a Snickers bar?


My dad brings those when he goes out in case he gets low blood sugar. I think he is type 2 though but I would have to ask to be sure.


I always carry Glucose Tablets.

Low blood sugars depending on how fast it drops can affect diabetics differently. I have been in the 40's and been completely functional while other times I have been in the 50's and have been unable to do anything.

My dad also carries those too. Or are they sugar tablets?
