Maybe you should start a petition for asthmatics to be able to receive free prescriptions!Well and who do you think will be paying for your hypos then? The rest of us! How is that fair? T1s are already exempt from paying prescription charges. Many of us aren't. Asthmatics aren't exempt even though their drugs are life saving ones too.

I won't mess about on this one.
I smell "troll." But don't worry. I also have a dark sense of humour..
Don't you realise someone has to pay for this? It's not just the super rich, it's everyone who has to pay tax.Maybe you should start a petition for asthmatics to be able to receive free prescriptions!

And buy their weekly groceries too no doubt......There are thousands of families who are struggling to even scrape by with a type I diabetic in their family. They struggle to get the food they need on a daily basis and have to rely on outside sources for help and support. This tax is going to be yet, another burden on their already overstretched finances. So yes, I think we should be prepared to help people like this, maybe tax the richest in this country at a higher rate, so that money can then be available to support the extra burden by Type I's and hypo treatments.
so do I as a matter of fact!Lol, I do.. You see I work for a living.
Don't be so sensitive. I wasn't trying to upset you and certainly wasn't taking the mick out of asthmatics. I am an asthmatic as a matter of fact so I know what it can be like!Hey steady on. Have you ever seen an ashmattic episode? I have many years ago with some one.. My teacher. Not good.
Step away from the keyboard. Before you realy upset someone..

So if Lucozade goes up slightly in price due to the sugar tax; are all those who use it to treat a hypo going to stop buying it? No, thought not.
I think it should be taxed. Plus it could be a positive thing as people will try harder to control it and not eat so many things that are bad for us. We are also wanting to fit in more and forget we have diabetes. Would this not be a reminder of that.

Well that escalated quickly! People getting their hair off over a few pence price increase. Gee whizz!
