[QUOTE="JessieK, post: 1104793, member: 283374"] No. I have been a type 1 for 33years and lucozade probably saved my life several times during my childhood and teens. Nowadays I carry little cartons of pure orange juice, it works just as fast as lucozade and I can only drink what's in it which is 20carbs. I often over treated with lucozade resulting in a big high after the hypo which really ruined the day. Don't let anyone tell you lucozade gets into your system quicker it's not true, fruit juice is perfect and has no silly chemicals. This was confrimed for me by the professionals delivering the DAFNE course I attended. Oh and it's really cheap in Lidl :-) where the cartons are a little larger than most, 25 carbs each. [/QUOTE]
