JH, I've found being a Paramedic that milk will raise a glucose faster than anything else. Well, other than the Dextrose 50% we give on the ambulance. As far as the epilepsy is concerned, getting your med lvls checked before season would lessen the chance of you having one in the field. But, you are right, still go with someone. If you wanted even, I think there is a product on the market that you can buy that alerts someone to your medical needs wherevr you are. I think Les Stroud advertises it, yeah know, the survivorman guy? Good Luck
