Does anyone else think

1

Does anyone else think glucose tabs taste better than smarties? Or am I just weird.

2

My choice behind candied orange slices. I like watermelon and tropical

3

Not weird I love the walmart brand fruit punch and green apple ones!! they rock!! Like a little party in my mouth lol

4

Back when I was first diagnosed, there was a particular brand that I loved and literally couldn’t get enough of. I haven’t seen them in years. I find most glucose tabs too chalky. I go for the Market Pantry fruit snacks from Target instead.

5

I prefer the fruit snacks for on the go carbs too, with that said I really don’t like smarties so if my choice is glucose tabs or smarties I’ll go glucose tabs all that way.

6

Oh yeah, forgot about that.

1 vote for Smarties. =P

7

I vote Glucose tabs… just cause i’ve never had smarties, and i like how Glucose tabs taste :smiley:

I haven’t gotten to have one yet. I bought a bottle of orange ones when I was first diagnosed just in case but haven’t needed them. But the CDE said they taste like Lik-M-Aid - if you were a kid in the 80s you will remember that stuff. I loved that stuff. I wanting to try one of my tabs to see. :slight_smile:

Try one if ya want. It won’t kill ya! :slight_smile: They usually burn off pretty fast.

i love candy, all of it. i really don’t give a crap most of the time, but when i need sugar, i care even less about where it comes from.

i actually carry life savers with me. who knew they actually can save lives?

lol

11

For me personally… I don’t know how they can make pure sugar taste so bad. Hook me up with name-brand candy anyday

12

I prefer crazy core skittles. I will only eat the white smarties if I have to.

13

This! All the ones I’ve tried are so chalky. I’d rather have orange juice or milk.

14

I love the watermelon flavor glucose tablets!

15

Both my daughters (D and non-D) like glucose tabs. Better than Smarties? I dont’ know. Let’s go with “just as well.”

16

I prefer glucose tabs for my low treatment. Fruit punch (CVS brand made by Dex 4), or grape are my preferences. I also prefer them because you have to do a lot more chewing for the smarties (in terms of quantity) to get the same carbs from a tab.
