  Hunger so profound it deserves a place on the Mount Rushmore of historic T1D moments. I will eat thumb tacks, crow bars, or table legs. 📎

  My go-to is Skratch chews, which I also use as fuel during exercise. I sometimes carry glucose tabs as well as they are less susceptible to heat. If I'm not as concerned about raising by blood sugar quickly, I sometimes use regular m&ms.

  Glucose tabs or gel. I can’t eat candy because those chemicals released during hypos make me want to binge eat the good tasting stuff. I…just…can’t…stop!

  I usually stick to glucose tabs because I am not tempted to overeat them. 😝

  I carry jellybeans with me in a small plastic bag as these are small and fit in my pockets. Smarties would be preferred as they are faster to digest and smaller, but it's been a while since I've stocked up. If I am in the car or at home other carbs are used: soda, glucose tablets, or dark licorice. If I carried a purse, it would probably be a small resealable container of soda.

  If very low, I use either glucose tabs or gel. If I'm just heading low, I prefer a plain graham cracker.

  Glucose gummies because if I treat with candy, juice, etc., I tend to over treat.

  Glucose tablets. If I use candy like jelly beans I'll eat way too many! :)

  At home, my go-to is a banana and/or OJ (yes, even in the middle of the night). When I'm out, I always carry a bag of M&M's because they travel well.
