A pop tart is an iced pastry with fruit filling that you stick in the toaster.

I used to have a can of Coke. It's the only time I ever drank regular Coke. But I started "looking forward" to it too much, so I switched to the generic store-brand cola. It's cheaper and doesn't taste as good, but it does the job and I don't like it as much. :-)

ahh that's clever :) I'm one of the very few people who actually cannot stand coke or many other fizzy drinks so i don't miss them :)

I hate regular coke too, I have been on Diet sodas for 18 years now, regular stuff gives me a massive headach.

Canned Mandarine Oranges! I keep half a can in a tupperware in the fridge at all times... my away-from-home treat is smarties! three rolls of sugary perfection to get me back on track. My biggest problem is telling everyone "no" when I'm eating them!

also very high carb.
i like to eat as little as possible to get my sugar up, and the oranges are great for that. Just hve to make sure to get them out of the can: nothing sucks worse than trying to open a tin can with your sugar in the 40s

they sell them in little plastic cups now, whihc i suppose would work...they dont sell those at costco though!

I agree with Dave and Zoe, treating a hypo is the same as a bolus, not a pleasure or reason for indulgance. I do however, eat almost all of the food mentioned here as normal foods that are covered, in moderation, by normal boluses.

Skittles (hard), Sour Patch (soft) and Swish Fish (soft) are packaged in little bags at holloween and easter just for diabetics. At least that is what I think when I buy them in bunches at that time of the year. The amount of sugar is measued and is alot better taisting and easier to store than tabs.
