“Ten minutes to low blood sugar meltdown…”
If only I had realized that making my child with low blood sugar wait ten minutes for a ranch burger would do the trick.

Uh, I think the makers of Hidden Valley Ranch have got it a little wrong.
That being said, we use this to dip carrots and top salads because it’s…wait for it…low in carbs.

That commercial was painful to watch. Such a ridiculous premise, hamburger meat and salad dressing to raise low BG…. ugh. I’m glad they pulled it, and do give them some credit for responding to the complaints as quickly as they did.
Just saw that on TV the other day… one of the more RAGEworthy commercials I have seen…
When I saw this the other day I just about jumped through the TV to hurt someone! I know I made a very, very snarky comment at the TV. Glad it was naptime for Bug and Bean was at school so they didn’t hear me!!
I posted about this on facebook as well. People really do say the dumbest things without knowing what they are saying. Glad they retracted, now to work on Oprah and Dr. Oz and how they lie to the general public, we’d be good to go
Wow. Really? It’s clear she’s not talking about diabetics. While I have diabetes and I have 2 children with diabetes, I know that we are not the only ones who get low blood sugar. She’s simply saying that she wants to make a quick meal before the kids get so hungry that they’re cranky (low blood sugar).
Maybe it’s because I have lived with type 1 for over 20 years, my son has lived with it 13 years, and my daughter, 6 years… But this is certainly not offensive to me.
