[QUOTE="Ermintrude75, post: 1105750, member: 276895"] I'm going to say it should be exempt. Besides Lucozade energy is recommended to treat hype by the specialists I do a 2 hour karate class twice a week. I use the Lucozade sport to keep my blood sugar right depending on the intensity of the class. If I get worse I use the Lucozade energy as it has more sugar. For me personally I find the dextrose tablets take to long to consume in a class and they stick to the roof of my mouth. By law you have to keep a treatment for a hypo in the car and not in the boot. Lucozade can be left in the glove box with out melting or going off. But the main reason is families with multiple diabetics in the family. How many mums have given up work so they can check the kids bloods during the night? With the economic state of the country with bills and rent increasing but wages not. If people are counting every penny and the price rise means you don't buy that additional bottle then they can't treat the hypo at home. Jamie Oliver was all about education with his school meals and food revolution. So why did he not campaign for education on the drinks instead of a sugar tax? [/QUOTE]
