Water is obviously the best thing but I also drink flavoured water, which at least has some taste, or the low sugar, double strength cordial.

My lad doesn't have a pancreas, so he's a weird diabetic, he's 18 now and this is one thing he hates as the diabetes makes him thirsty all the time...His solution "Dad my life is shit enough without drinking shit as well, carb count and just inject enough insulin"...Which is what his pancreas would do if he had one. daily he has the Zero stuff, but he wont avoid it because of sugar content if he really fancies it.
He Cant drink booze, so dont include that ;)

I’ve tried some flavoured water but it really is limited.
Thanks Colin hope you’re keep well.

Everything 'zero sugar' has an equivalent in other form in there.

Loads of tea's available (not fruit) without the need for milk or sugar.
Have a look at Teapigs ;-)

Thanks I`ll give it a go. I hate tea without sugar so dont drink it. Coffee I can drink without sugar but I`ll give it a try. 8-}

No worries,hope you find something.....i have the Mao Feng green tea and the Liquorice and peppermint,in the main.
The trouble with coffee is while a couple a day are generally fine,it can also spike your blood sugar and elevate cortisol levels.
Neither are things you want your body doing.

I like Liquorice. I might give that on a real go thanks mucker. 8-)
If I have 2 coffees within a hour or so apart I get bloated.

Its superb,and takes the edge off any cravings,especially after a blandish meal.
FYI the Mao Feng has a peachy flavour,it really is amazing....so refreshing,can be drunk hot or allow to go cold overnight and drink with ice cubes.

If he's yer mate fella do me a favour and ask him the best course of action for a young man with acute and chronic neuropathy following a bout of necrotising pancreatitis (90% necrosed not functioning endo or gastro). Opiates dont seem to be cutting the mustard and are only helping him along with reduced function. Wil a Coelic nerve block be of any help with his pain.This blog is by a genius doc who happens to be a friend of mine. I'd consider his advice very, very seriously.

Also Vagas nerve stimulation treatment has been bandied around his thoughts?

I'm very sorry to hear about this young man's illness.
Please understand that Dr. Kruse is unable to practice medicine on the Internet in the manner you request. Partly for legal reasons, partly because he would need to know a lot of information about the patient before he could recommend a specific treatment.
I would encourage you to register on his forum and ask your question in "Ask Jack". He will hopefully make some suggestions and insights for you to bring to the young man's doctor for him to consider.
Good luck.

I have replied to a diabetes thread before but not sure which one. It’s neuropathy im
trying to look into.
Not been diagnosed but what I’ve googled, it could be it.
Some times it’s unbearable. Other times hardly notice it and I can’t link a pattern of food or drink intake that spikes it.
My toes get tingly. Shooting pains up the ankle and just general discomfort. I am
Type 2 but as recent as June my bloods were pre diabetic as I do eat the right stuff most of the time, and take Metformin.
Anyone’s experience with what could be neuropathy? I’m at the docs in a few weeks. I will add my BP is in the high range.

I know this thread helps a few.
Lately I’ve had devilish pains in my feet. Each step is like walking on drawing pins. No sleep. Just horrific.
Been to the docs. My bloods in April were pre diabetic levels but I wasn’t told to reduce my metformin.
B12 test took and the metformin has been sucking the b12 out of my system, and what they think is possibly the cause. No visible signs of what my fear was - neuropathy.
Been told to reduce to one tablet a
Day.

Yes mate.
Low carb diet mate, walk if you can, quit the booze. 2 months and you’ll be back in normal range. This is no longer a lifelong illness
