ME TO !  gum works great.  It sounds like we have many 'diabetic'
hikers.  We need a short "diabetic" trek some time.  Or at least we need to
meet at the kick-off next year...or trail-fest.

 I carry gum. Some of my meds also give me dry mouth and, as you know, I'm
diabetic as well. 

I'm to the point now that I pretty much have to carry gum to hike.

Does anyone have any techniques they use when low on water to make things a
little more comfortable?  I have heard of Indians putting a pebble in their
mouth.
 
Thanks.  Your hiking buddy, Switchback

carrier.  Okay, so you already knew that.  Sorry.
