Diabetes

[Prestwich_Blue]

Finding something to drink seems very limited

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.

I have just been told I have neuropathy. I have pains in my feet and hands which have recently just started. I also get cramps in my hands feet and calf.

This blog is by a genius doc who happens to be a friend of mine. I'd consider his advice very, very seriously.

Loads of tea's available (not fruit) without the need for milk or sugar.

Have a look at Teapigs ;-)

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.
