The Carb Strip (cs-15)

The Carb Strip (CS -15) By Sean and Amy McALister Morgantown, Wv. 26508 Utilize the *Listerine Strip dissolvable breath freshener as the basis of Carb Delivery.

Hello!! I am Amy McAlister. My son, Ethan, was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes when he was 16 months old…he is now 5 ½. Shortly after his diagnosis he began taking hypoglycemic seizures. The only way to give him carbohydrates was through a sippy cup of chocolate milk. I was so afraid to give my son liquids to drink during a seizure…I was afraid he would aspirate! These seizures continued for 6 months. During this time my frustration grew and grew. I felt angry and confused…and out of this frustration and fear I said to my husband one day, “why can’t there be an easier way?” “Why can’t we come up with a carb strip---you just put it on the tongue for it to dissolve---like the listerine breath strips?” Our idea is to have a 15 gram carbohydrate, dissolvable, fruit flavored strip that can be placed on the tongue of a person with low sugar for immediate carbohydrate ingestion. (AKA: CS-15). This strip can be used in type 1 and type 2 Diabetics. This strip is so simple to use…you just take it out of the package and put it on your tongue! Within seconds it is totally dissolved! It comes in a small container that can fit in your pocket, purse or finger stick case for quick, convenient access. Anyone can safely take--- or give ---a carb strip when they go low---Children, Adults, the Elderly, babysitters, teachers and family members…without the intrusive needle and side effects of glucogon, the tasteless carb tablets and the possibility of choking or aspirating on food or liquids. It’s that Simple and Effective! Having Diabetes is hard enough - let the CS-15 make taking care of lows easier! CS-15. Open it, place it on the tongue…wait 5 seconds for it to dissolve and allow the carbohydrate to get into your system. CS-15, Fast, effective, life saving.
