Lucozade awareness

[Tanny35]

If you haven't already done so try the Orange flavoured Lucozade its ok, better chilled though. As for jelly babies I'm afraid i would eat the whole packet. As for Hypo stop, its Rank in.my opinion.

I use jelly babies small pocket size packets are 10 for £1 at asda! I can actually work out what effect 1 jelly baby has which is helpful although if ur hypo is bad I would advise just eating a load!

I find that when I go hypo, jelly babies work quite good, only problem is when I eat the first one all the others in the packet start crying. Hence me eating the entire packet but I only do it for the poor jelly babies.

If you look at the nutritional info on a Lucozade bottle now you will see that the amount of fast acting glucose has been halved. It is important to be aware of this if treating hypos!
The packaging is rhe same & the price is the same. The lable still boasts the trademark "Powered By Glucose", but there is nothing to indicate "reduced sugar"!
