Are you using Nutri-cal to treat hypoglycemic episodes or just to help give extra calories to a picky eater?
If you're using it for hypoglycemic episodes, you can also use just plain Karo syrup or honey (fewer ingredients than the Nutrical but essentially the same) in place of the the Nutri-cal and follow that with some regular food containing protein to help maintain blood sugar levels.
If you're using it to supplement a diet or entice a picky eater, Nutri-cal wouldn't be my first choice because it's just sugar. This product is more like something to keep on hand just in case because it can quickly raise blood sugar in emergencies, not necessarily something to use on a regular basis. |
