Hilariously lucozade was originally used for exatly what the new gluco shots given buy the NHS were.

Its original name was glucoaid. And it was used in hospitals in the 50s and 60s to give energy to paiteints.

Back in the 80s when I was diagnosed Lucozade was what we were recomended to keep for the job. But there was so much better tasting stuff. I never got into it.

Lol. Auto corrected typo.

ER. Thanks for pointing it out.

The point is they reduced the sugar in coke semi secretly, they can still buy a coke it just doesn't stop going into diabetic coma. And you find out when you're on the way to hospital.

Yes it is. Coke or an equivalent.

First remember this shit his freaking fast. Especially in the summer where it littally feels like sugar is leached from your skin all day.

Sugar and water is fine at home. Although honestly dose not mix well if the warer is not hot. But it can work.

When you are out and about doing every day thongs. Most tiny village stores do not sell bags of sugar.

Atm even friut juice is far from a garrentee in tiny shops. And you can have less then a few mind to handle this situation when its bad. (HOT).

ATM. You can still get something sweet at most stores. Even if frout juice is not available. Something food wise is. Food is slower but can work. And honestly dealing with heat uou need slower acting carbs all day long.

But if this new tax idea happens. And companies respond the way they did with sodas.

It will mean deaths.

Ill also share a cute story just to cheer evety one up.

First I am hypo unaware. It is a condition that often hits long term well managed T1ds (40years in my case) where we lose the ability to tell when our sugar is low.

At the time this sugar tax came in. Icwas goingvthrough a 3 year strugle with nice. Where my specialist was trying to grt me issued a CGM. (Continues, Glucose Monitor that warns you when going low)

I had a girl friend at the time. Who litrally kept me alive. As over the hot summer nights she was regually required to place glucose in my mouth as I was having a fit.

But after the glucose was in. It can take up to 10 mind for my mind to start responding sanely. Low blood sugar can look like you are very very drunk to outsiders.

So she would be paniking and constently asking what to do while I was recovering. With me just not in a mental state to explane.

So when fine one day she asked me wjat was best.

So I gave her thos advice. Post the low. I genrally needvto take some slower acting carbs to prevent the heat sending me down again.

The easiest way tovtake it is a sugery cup of tea and a few biscuits.

Now that is only rechnically true. Pretty much anythibg with a lottle morecsugar and some slow acting carbz will work.

But when i wake up after those night time lows. My memory is missing a chunch of s few hours (I never regain that). And things feel pretty darn stressful.

You have no idea how relaxing a sweat cup of tea in bed and some biscuits to dunk is as your comming to from that crsp.

While also taking the GF mind of rhe panic and giving her something to do rather then worry if I am going to die.
