Fruit Punch Flavored Chalk Anyone?....Anyone? Didn't Think So!


When an extremely LOW blood sugar hit this morning at 3 am, I woke up and reached for my bedside table in the dark looking for my glucose tabs. I have had them around forever because I very much prefer my glucose drinks that are faster at getting sugar into my system. Well I had the tabs that I refer to as "chalk" because they have the same consistency so I found them and downed about 3 or 4 of them. In chewing each one, I felt my stomach do a somersault. I can't stand the flavor or texture of those suckers.

I understand that those pieces of "chalk" could very well save my life, but for now I am going to stick with the glucose drinks I buy from Wal-Mart that taste like a melted popsicle.
