Diabetes and OW

Is there anyone out there that can say something about maintaining blood sugar levels during OW swims? I am only a type II (no longer on insulin) diabetic and my only problem (so far) is my sugar level dropping such that I start having problems. Mainly with the brain getting fuzzy and that results in poor decision making.

    Thanks. I have found some gel packs that will work. One is actually a tube (like a toothpaste tube) of baby food that is basically all fructose sugar. I can put it in my suit.
