Good Lord! I just looked them up…they are EXPENSIVE…I think we’ll pass on those for now. We’d be bankrupt from buying gummies, in just a few short years.
Any brand of glucose tablets that your son prefers? Are the jelly beans/starbursts/s-minis fast acting?
We have a good sense of what specific foods do to his BG (slow rise vs fast rise), but haven’t ever checked his actual increase times. Will add that to list of to-do items.
Skittles and jelly beans are as fast as anything we know, and about 1 carb each (really I think 7 carbs for 8 Skittles). Very convenient if you need to measure quickly. Also cheap and not too sticky in hot weather.
My go to is good ole Haribo Gummy Bears…for me they work faster than most other things and there are just under 6g of carbs for 3 pieces. I keep a small bag of them on hand for lows.
