I'm over in the UK at the moment for my annual visit and couldn't believe my eyes when I went into Boots. They had a Diabetic section in the store and it had a 'food' range supposedly suitable for diabetics. They had chocolate bars, biscuits and other 'goodies', the carb content was higher than normal biscuits / chocolate. One bar I was looking at was 70 g per 100g of carbs.
Obviously I didn't buy anything and couldn't find an assistant to complain.
I looked on their website and they only mention they have the products and don't list them or their contents..........

Surely there are laws against this ? I know where I reside (in Germany) these false diabetic friendly products were made illegal or could not be labelled as diabetic friendly!
