Reduction in Sugar Content

[PapaOrca]

Whilst everybody celebrates the reduction of sugar in fizzy drinks, has anybody spared a thought for the people who are suffering from hypo’s and lack hypo awareness and use sweet drinks like cola for the easily taken sugar rush they need ?

Well on here they have and I believe there was a petition started about it. To no avail.

I don't believe Coca Cola and Pepsi changed their recipe although the price has increased due to the sugar tax.

And there are other options available to treat hypos such as Dextrose and Glucojuice.

type 1 and i'd rather pay more for my sugary coke to treat a hypo or one of the many alternatives (jelly babies/pastels) than have the rest of the population be at more risk of type 2/metabolic syndrome.

What's wrong with Dextrose tablets which cope with the majority of hypo situations (not the extreme ones)? There are still sugary drinks available for use at home etc.

I noticed tins of ordinary Coca Cola had sneaked up 10p at the local store when the sugar tax will be just 8p.
