Question related to Hypoglycemia
Once in awhile, I find myself experiencing the "out of body" dissociative feeling associated with Hypoglycemia. The question I have is what are some of the foods (or drinks) that I can reach for that will quickly stabilize my blood sugar? What should I always have on hand ready to pop in my mouth?
Thanking you in advance for your suggestions.

I have nuts and nut butter always with me. There are individually packed but butter that I always have with me. Very stable, don't spoil. Justin's but butter.

Yep, peanut butter crackers or cheese and crackers. I also find that orange juice and milk both work for me (although you obviously cannot carry those in your purse). I also find that they work more quickly than solid foods because they get into the intestine more quickly, but I have ordinary hypoglycemia not Reactive Hypoglycemia and apparently some people with RH find that OJ isn't a good choice.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I will start keeping orange juice in the fridge at work and home so I can get to it quickly, and I have just this morning put some peanut butter crackers in my purse so I'll have those in the event it happens away from home or work.
Fortunately, it does not happen often.
Thanks so much for your input as I always (as in always, always) respect your suggestions and feedback.
