Type 1 diabetic needs help deciding what to drink
Okay I'm type 1 diabetic and keeping my sugar regulated is not the issue, I don't have a sweet tooth and I can avoid eating sugary/carb loaded foods.
My problem is what to drink.. I love soda but **** diet.. the only diet I can stomach is Coca cola Zero and even that gets old. I like unsweetened ice tea, so two drinks out of a million I like, (water is good too) but I need more variety can anyone suggest something other than diet coke,sprite,rootbeer dr.pepper, no diet sodas please

Have you tried just plain ol’ fizzy water? Or plain water with a slice of fruit floating around in it? I like apples or blueberries, it doesn’t have to be standard citrus. Be creative!
A GREAT PLACE O LOOK AT DRINKS IS IN THE POWDERED DRINK ISLE AT YOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET, TARGET, WALMART OR EVEN K-MART. THEY HAVE NO SUGAR ADDED MIXES LIKE PEACH FLAVORED ICED TEA, RASBERRY TEA. ALSO TRY MAKING YOU OWN LEMONADE AND IF YOU WANT IT SWEETENED YOU CAN USE EQUAL SPLENDA OR THAT PINK STUFF ( I REALLY DONT LIKE IT).
Crystal light comes in many flavors and is sugar-free. It’s not as sweet as all that Kool-ade we all drank as kids.
Sometimes just adding a lemon or lime slice to sparkling mineral water is a nice change.
