On the last two packs of glucose tablets I was charged VAT and import duty. Costly! Has anyone got an outlet I can source these tablets? Thanks all.

I bought these for my wife from French Amazon. They are delivered from Germany, apart from postage to pay there was no extra duty or TVA added. link |

Are they not something prescribed by the M.T. or diabetic specialist and available from every pharmacie or am I missing something?
I thought diabète was an ALD so it can't be a question of price.

It is ALD but doesn't mean you can get everything. Glucose tablets included. My specialist tells me to drink a carton of grape juice, or take 3 large sugar cubes ~ both yuk. I've bought from the pharmacy a box of glucose syrup, about 6€ for 5, again yuk. 15g sachets of harbour sweets, the jelly ones are better, as are full sugar fizzy drinks. For my handbag the sweets are my choice. Good luck |

Would dried figs be suitable for carrying with you or are they too slow release?
I adore them and there are so many subtle differences in taste & texture between those from various countries.

I searched on Amazon.de for traubenzucker tabletten and there seemed to be quite a few to choose from

Any dried fruit is good as they're low in fat so work quite quickly, that's why I use the haribos, they're low in fat but high in sugar. |

Thank you Flober. I will checkout that site. Certainly cheaper than our local pharmacy. I will also speak to our medicin traitent.

Well I received my dextrose tablets from a German company. Two weeks, so not bad.
