I have Type 1 diabetes and around 1-2 hypos per week. My go to treatment if my blood sugar falls below 3.8mmol/L is a small (150ml) can of coke. This has always worked well at bringing my sugars quickly back in range.I was excited to try the Dextro Energy pouches as an alternative. The pros are that these pouches are small, lightweight and at 50ml, perfect for taking in hand luggage on a plane (the small cans of coke are not allowed).One pouch contains 24g of carbs but there’s a halfway marker showing you how much 25ml is in case you don’t want the whole pouch. After drinking most of the pouch my blood sugar rose from 3.8mmol/L to 6.2 within 15 minutes.The main downside for me is the taste. It’s a very sickly sweet apple flavour, a bit too syrupy for me. However at the end of the day i’ll happily drink it if it sorts a hypo and makes me feel better.There’s a long expiry which is great news if buying in bulk (mine expires April 2020).Overall, a good option. Lightweight for carrying around and sorted out my hypo.
