Yes my blood sugars are high at the moment, I had many years of well it being fairly well controlled but various life events took aver and it really just got away from me, I'm trying to make a plan to start over as if I've just been diagnosed, but the drinks are my biggest hurdle right now...

Thank you for your replies! Sorry for not being very clear, I was meaning to ask about what of the listed drinks would be best to keep my blood sugars low and quench my thirst? It doesn't matter how much water I drink, I constantly have a dry mouth and water does not relive it! I think this...

Thank you, I think I've worked out my average mmol/l being 15 will make my HbA1c at 95? Thanks for your help
