Its strange..but I often go low in morrissons on a Saturday like others have said on here...ive often got lucozade and drank it b4 paying lol
It must be the nerves thinking of paying £140 for shopping again lol

Have found that I am worse in 'tesco' and sainsburys for feeling light headed and whoozy .
Than when I am in morrisons .

Seems the bigger the store - the worse I am . :problem:
Same in any huge M&S store too .

Due to the DVLA guide lines and testing while out, for me I have found when shopping in places like supermarkets my levels do drop quicker than if at home or shopping elsewhere.
