hypoglycemic reaction? What do you drink or eat to treat it right away? Do you carry anything on you in case you have a hypoglycemic reaction while out of the house?

Glucose tabs, and usually some kind of snack bar.

I keep pumpkin seeds and almonds with me at all times. I try to nibble on them even when I don't necessarily feel hungry to keep my blood sugar level.
I also have a powder protein drink that I keep to mix with water or even a diet Sprite. It takes care of that shaky feeling fairly quickly.
I love the protein bars, but, the ones I were eating had the sugar alcohols/subs
and too much of that additive gives me a headache.
I also try to drink lots of water. Hydration seems to help my levels.

It is a "Keto" powerded shake. Comes in a variety of flavors. I buy them in the local health food store. No sugar, no carbs, and approximately 23 grams of protein.
I find myself snacking on seeds and nuts all the time. I am beginning to feel
part squirrel!

Keto--I'll look for it at our one and only health food store (small town).

I do love nut butters. But, they love my hips, so, I try not to overindulge.
It is hard when I find something I love to eat not to over do it.
I try to remind myself, of balance....sometimes I even listen to myself!
Haha!
