[QUOTE="sd29, post: 939318, member: 33878"] I found [URL]http://www.runsweet.com[/URL] useful in helping me work with my diabetes when participating in sports. The sugar tax issue reminds me over Tesco's Ribena controversy. Realistically, there are many hypo treatments, and we will all have our preferences. I think I'm very lucky to have life saving medications paid for, for my diabetes. Asthmatics don't get that help. I'd also say if be happy to pay a Contribution. Oh wait, that's partly what my tax and NI contributions do! Is sugar tax just Nanny state or is it a way of legitimately trying to address a problem? Seems it's just more scapegoating and scaremongering. Fruit juices and smoothies are so healthy these days - many match sugared fizzy drinks for sugar content yet are 'healthy' options. Plus who owns innocent? If I have to pay a little more to get out of a hypo hell, to keep myself and potentially others from harm, so be it. A few pence more or hundreds, maybe thousands for emergency care paid for by the NHS. [/QUOTE]
