Just last night I struggled with what felt like forever (in all actuality it was probably around 30 seconds or so) to get that stupid straw into that stupid juice pouch (Capri Sun style). It's so frustrating when I have any form of sugar in my hands and for some reason I just can't open it. Like many others have replied before me, I can't even begin to count the number of glucose tabs that have fallen on the floor or glasses of juice that ended up all over the counter/myself.
That's a good description of the twitches thing - it drives me nuts!
I used to have lifesavers for lows all the time but now they put some sort of glue on the ends or something so I have such a hard time opening them. So now I use juice boxes mostly, I figure I might as well get some vitamins and fluids if I have to have a low! I really don't like the glucose tablets and they're so expensive I often feel guilty eating them so I find something else instead!
