I've been having a bad bout of hypo episodes over the past week. Racey heart, disorientation, wobbly feet, the works.
Finding Yakult in the fridge during a hypo is like finding an oasis in the desert. The sense of relief is like peeing after holding your pee longer than you should. Ok, maybe it's not that bad, but you get what I'm saying.
According to a Yakult guru aka Mom, you're not supposed to drink Yakult more than once a day. I can't remember the reason why though, but in any case, due to the frequency of lows I've been getting, I've drunk it more than once a day. Knowing how it contains teeny weeny micro organisms, I can imagine whatever's in it to be having a ball in my intestines.
But that's not the point.
See the tiny little tab on the top of the Yakult bottle? That's the point. When you're in desperate need of getting glucose into your system, the tiny tab makes a whole lot of difference when you need to rip off that aluminium and drink Yakult like a shot of tequila.
They only recently made their tabs this way and I just needed to say that the small difference they made has made a whole lot of difference to me.
Bravo, Yakult. I promise never to buy your evil twin that claims to be good for your digestion.
