Wow that’s a big impact! Thanks for sharing

Thanks ...BoyT, appreciate getting the picture of what people are doing

Appreciate your insight mmariyam. Sounds positive that exercise can help keep things in check

Thanks oldvatr, I’m getting educated on the benefits of alcohol in this thread!

Ok will look out for it I’ve I’m ever on the other side

Looks nice... Yeah I’ve heard there are certain enzymes which break down the carbs so the yeast can better digest it. Still haven’t tried a low carb beer but imagine they’re a bit drier

Thanks Suz

Thanks Kristin, you’ve been a great help through the thread

Cool, thanks Rachox

Thanks Boo, I’m finding that T2’s are tending to avoid sugar altogether. Thanks for the insight of what you’re drinking too... I’m getting a much better picture.

I didn’t know that about the balancing effect of alcohol! That’s pretty cool.. Yeah it’s been a good eye opener asking the question. Definitely wiser than before I asked. Thanks for your help

Thanks again... good to know you can make a choice to manage if it. I was thinking when asking this, was it a matter of sticking to zero sugar drinks or are there options. Finding out that everyone is different so thanks for sharing your take. So I imagine with you the less sugar the easier to...

Thanks Rachox.. that’s a valid point! And thanks for the carb count insight too. Out of interest, how many carbs would you do in a treat?

Hi Kirsten, thanks again. I’m learning so much from this even though I had a vague start. I’m not diabetic (which probably explains my terrible line of questioning!). I’m actually doing this because I make soft drinks which I mainly sell to health food shops like Revital... but I’m always...

Thanks Helen, sorry that I’m not doing a great job of navigating this. So would juice be the only drink that you have that contains sugar, or would you apply the same approach to other drinks and then cover it with insulin? I suppose a better criteria for the question should have been drinking...

Thanks glavesr, so do you look at a drink and say this is too much, no I won’t have it... or think more if I have this I need to compensate with x?

Thanks Kristin. So the picture I’m getting is no sugar as a blanket rule. I’m also curious about juice as I hear many might mix a little with water etc. I suppose with juices there’s no focus on looking at sugar because you know what you’re in for? Real pure juice I mean

Ah ok... see I’m learning already! So to better understand, I should perhaps point this question at a particular type, or on a particular drug? I was hoping to find out what people‘s attitude to drinks on a more individual basis. I don’t suppose I’m trying to find out if there’s a one size fits...

Thanks Helen, yeah I think my question was a bit too open... I was meaning to raise blood sugar levels so am trying to see if people generally avoid sugar altogether, or if they do occasionally sneak some in, what amount?

Thanks, this is really helpful
