Also, google "energy gel". I haven't really compared the prices of the "performance gels" versus those made for diabetics in a long time.

Gu, Powergel, Clif Shots, etc., etc. TASTE better. Check the nutritional information also. Most of these small packets contain more than 15g, more like 24-30g of quick carbs; and some also contain other ingredients such as electrolytes and protein.

Also, I have NOT thoughtfully compared how fast these will raise glucose levels or how they dissolve and absorb in the mouth -- which might be a MAJOR factor in emergency use.

A cursory review indicates that the "performance gels" might be a less expensive and better option.
