[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1098846, member: 211362"] I saw this on our news here tonight about UK introducing a sugar tax. If you use soft drink to treat your hypos then I guess it will cost more. For me I use juice... I have those boxed juices everywhere. You use what is best for you to treat hypos. I have a very bad moving throat and the last thing I need is some sort of sugar stuck down my throat and I'm choking and not able to get my sugars up. There's only one type of juice I can tolerate without too much pain and that's the apple and blackcurrant. I don't have to use it that often though. I've been good lately aside from a few missed night time hypos. But those juices are a life saver for me. I carry soft lollies too but find they take a lot longer to work on me... plus again they're sticky and don't always go down too well. I don't think they're considering a sugar tax here though... in my view I'm not sure a sugar tax would make much difference... just like smokers they still buy their cigarettes here even though they're now talking about the possibility of raising a pack of cigarettes to $40.
