While filling up at a gas station recently, Janell Britton’s vision started to darken and blur, and her body broke out into a sweat. She suffers from hypoglycemia, a condition characterized by chronic low blood sugar, and she was minutes away from passing out. Having used all her cash to get gas, Britton pulled out her SNAP card to purchase soda, the cheapest and quickest way for her body to get sugar.
With new SNAP purchase restrictions, this method for instant relief will no longer be available to her.
