This tax doesn't attack anyone. It's probably in effect to steer people away from obesity and unhealthy life choices by incentevising, natural non-articficially sweetend juices and tees as well as water over sodas and all that crap that rots your teeth away and gives you a heart attack by 50.

It sucks that your store is right on the border and that you might loose buisness because it isn't a nationwide law, but it isn't neccissarily a bad law.

One of my friends in primary school had that problem, he would go cataconic if he needed sugar. Bananas and grapes as well as other fruit with high sugar percentages work well. You could also just always carry a Dextro-Energy packet, to be sure. You're not neccissarly dependent on sodas or candy bars to help yourself with that.

I've been diabetic for the majority of my life ;.; although I do appreciate the info I also... know this very well and always have a pack of dextrose pills with me as well, slightly more difficult to eat 47g of dried sugar though in a pinch than a drink of lucozade.

Also a diabetic should never ever eat a candy bar to treat hypoglycemia, those are laced with fats which actually slow down the sugar being absorbed as well as being very unhealthy a way to treat the condition since you are basically taking what you need (sugar) along with a load of fat for no reason, would be like having cough medicine with oil poured in it for a cough :o

I'm sorry man, that sucks. :(  I wasn't trying to come off, preachy btw. obviously you'd know your illness very well, but I thought I'd still write it just in case.

And yeah, chomping down on dry hardened sugar is harder, especially if you're already a little too low on blood sugar. There's some that dissolve very fast with a sip of water I think, that might help a little.

I did not know about the candy bars, but thinking about it, it makes sense. I knew that fats slow down sugar absorbtion, so I should have made the connection.
