Switching to Sugar Cubes

Sugar cubes.  Since I discovered that glucotabs have a number of unnecessary and toxic ingredients, I've been considering another fast-acting sugar source that is also available in a small, controlled amount.  Obviously, a spoonful of sugar is too variable.  I could either take too much or too little when treating a low and not know exactly how many carbs I'm using to treat said low.  Then I thought, what about sugar cubes? 

Sugar cubes are only made of sugar, but they each have a certain amount of carbs per cube - 2.3 to be exact.  So basically, 2 cubes = 1 glucotab.  As I'm in the middle of treating a low right now and I've just eaten my last glucotab, I've decided not to buy glucotabs anymore.  Sugar cubes will become my new best friend! 



Speaking of lows, for the past 6 days, my numbers have been amazing!  This past week, my average has been 130!  I had a few spikes, even overnight ones, but they quickly came back down and never went over 200!  I've also had a few lows, but they pretty much never went below 60.  I am extremely happy and excited!!
