I used peanut butter when I had low blood sugar. Although it is primarily protein, it has carbs.

a protein bar?? i always have on in my purse not for that reason but if get stuck somewhere then i don't have to spend money to eat somewhere. :)

Hi Judy,
Are you on insulin? If so are you being advised to adjust the dosage? For around the house, milk is great for raising blood sugar. Granola bars are a great food to carry in your bag when you're out of the house.
Shelley :o)

peanut butter crackers work well and fairly quick.

There do make glucose tablets if you can tolerate them.

If you're somewhere you can get milk or OJ - they work well.

Try to carry glucose tablets if you can tolerate them, some hard candies that you can chew quickly but for those of us with the surgery peanut butter is a very good go to item that will raise the blood sugar. I am diabetic and have at times had lows and the peanut butter helps. The glucose tablets and candies are quick suggestions but they don't last long because of the carb intake you need something with protein in it to help keep it. The above suggestions are all good. If you can tolerate it keep some jerky on hand that has some protein as well. But all in all the peanut butter is by far your best bet with the little bit of carbs to raise it quickly and the protein to sustain.

thanks everyone for suggestions. peanut butter wins it sounds like.

If your blood sugar gets too low and you need sugar fast to raise it..they sell Glucose tablets (they taste orangy) you chew them and dissolve them under your tongue. You can find them with the diabetic supplies in your drug store. Otherwise I would suck on a hard candy. debby

I just pretty much needed to know what I could take with me. I end up walking a lot so I can take the peanut butter stuff with me. Dont know if the protein bar has the carbs in it.
