something else i have found--

i know fructose/high fructose corn syrup gets a real bad rap-- BUT metabolism of these sugars does not require insulin in the same way as glucose metabolism - so choosing products with fructose or high fructose corn syrup as the primary ingredient rather than ones with dextrose or glucose as the first ingredient has also helped.

if i get hypo on a ride, I always found a can of full 'sugar' Pepsi, which is HFCS sorted the problem wonderfully - got the fuel into me without the subsequent 'bonk' that happens with glucose intake--

i wouldnt dream of eating stuff with HFCS in usually - but on a ride it works fabulously for me to keep me going without bonking--
