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 I need to follow a diabetic 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

I am going to the doctor in a couple days for a blood test. I am thinking I may be diabetic.  It runs in my family and I have many of the symptoms. What my question is I am always thirsty…

I have been drinking it.

And it just seems to make me thirstier. Anyone have any recomendations on what to drink? I have tried G2 and regular gatorade, soda, diet soda, teas…et.  I just keep wondering if there is something else I haven’t tried – and I do not drink alcohol. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am a type two diabetic. I am trying to figure out my diet because what i have tried has not worked. I would like some help in my dilemma. Here’s the diet I am on now. My protien sources are lean beef, turkey, chicken, tuna and salmon.

My carb sources are usually in the fiberous family, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. My good fat intake are usually from avocado, fatty fish, peanuts, etc. I am allergic to tree nuts (usually walnuts, but will not try to experiment. Done that with peanuts and not allergic to them.) and mushrooms.

My ratio is 2:1:1 protien to carbs and fats. I try to eat 225g of protein per day. I don’t or try not to, eat high glycemic carbs. What am I missing?
