Reading through various online discussions about diabetic grocery shopping really struck a chord with me today. The frustration of walking down those “health food” aisles and seeing astronomically priced “sugar-free” alternatives is something that hits close to home, especially with current cost-of-living pressures here in Australia.

Let’s be honest - the markup on diabetic-friendly products is nothing short of highway robbery. Why should people managing their blood sugar levels pay triple the price for a fifth of the quantity? It’s a predatory practice that takes advantage of people’s health conditions, and it makes my blood boil.
