[QUOTE="Ghuzala1988, post: 2590784, member: 569784"] Hi there my son is 12 years diagnosis was at 4 . We have always been told to use lucazade as a fast treatment for lows and being liquid it’s a lot fast acting and easier to consume when low especially at night. I’m so worried what impact lucazade is having on his heart body brain and teeth , he can go through so many bottles I have asked the dietitian for alternatives but they are not so helpful they just say glucotabs or glucojuice but that is so expensive and such a tiny amount. I have heard energy drinks can cause heart attacks and more and I honestly am not sleeping anymore thinking of this he’s been using it for 8 years as his main hypo treatment, I need to find something else as effective but not damaging quickly I just hope it hasn’t already done any damage. I want to ask what you guys use what are alternatives what do your type one children use? Any advice suggestions welcome [/QUOTE]
