Hi Gary and welcome to the forum. It would help the members give appropriate advice if you tell us what type of diabetes you have and any meds you take. You can also put this info in your profile.

I know that people with type 2 diabetes can mix protein powder with milk and add a piece of fruit for a healthful snack. Also for optimal performance, you can take caffeine pills about 60 minutes before a training. Check vivarin caffeine pills reviews, to be sure that fits for you

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
I'm training for a 100k road ride and want to buy suppliments to keep my blood sugar stable. Any suggestions?

Depends on if you are fuelled by carbohydrates or ketones, frankly.

Ketones you are heavy on the proteins and fats, with isotonic drinks (without sugar) to maintain your salt balance.

I can do around 55 miles/88k on coffee+double cream+salted butter.
As far as I know I am burning ketones which the liver produces from fats.
So the energy store is more or less bottomless, unlike carbohydrates.
