I'm certain that many of you including myself drink Lucozade, but I've just discovered that the fruit flavoured varieties are different from the original. The fruit ones contain glucose/fructose syrup, whereas the original has only glucose syrup. What this means is that you need approx. twice the volume of fruit Lucozade, compared to original to treat a hypo. It also means that you are taking on additional useless calories in the fructose, excess of which is converted to fat in the liver.
