Thanks, Kurt, for posting such an excellent example of the really
stupid way the ADA lumps together insulin-using T2s and non-insulin
using T2s :-)

Eh... I used Sweetarts (which are nearly pure glucose and better-tasting
and cheaper than glucose tablets) before insulin... when the only time I
ever went low was with strength training type of exercise... and still
use it today on insulin, when lows can be from multiple things.

It's hard to beat glucose for raising bg fast if you're really going low.

Though if you're just "sorta" low, and feeling crappy, any kind of treat
you normally deny yourself works. I'd be less inclined to do that
*myself* cause treats I keep around would be a regular source of
temptation for me, whereas Sweetarts aren't.
