[QUOTE="Proto, post: 1654357, member: 461247"] I think the issue here is that in the past as a Type 1 if you were having a hypo and for whatever reason didnt have a hypo treatment with you (such as Glucogel, Dextrose tablets etc) Lucozade was a good go to option that we can get from almost any shop. Even when you did have hypo treatments Lucozade was a good option. Most of us know exactly how much we need and it was always a good fallback option we could depend on no matter where we are or what we're doing. Also it didnt look out of the ordinary treating a hypo with lucozade. Yes we carry hypo treatments but life happens and we can get caught out. Now we can always use something else (my default now is a some Coca-Cola or Haribos, maybe a carton of apple juice). But for me Lucozade was always great for getting me out of a hypo quickly other things always took longer (only by about 5 minutes but still). Unfortunatly now we have to find another solution (of which there are several) its just annoying when you have something that works so well and now its going to change. Especially when you've used it since diagnosis. Also I would not have known the formula was changing if it wasnt for this thread so that could have caught me out ( I know its my responsibility to check the label its just Lucozade has been such a constant I wouldn't have thought it would change). I see that quite a few T2s (and T1s as well) dont see this as a problem but that just shows how different Type 1 and Type 2 are in treatments. [/QUOTE]
