Single malt whisky everytime.

My favourite as well as well, I like most of the Glen's but have developed a taste for Laphroaig in the last couple of years.

I drink XXXX Gold low carb beer as well.

Edit: Forgot the Merlot.

 

[shoesy24]

Coke zero and rum

 

[bulkbiker]

Water, coffee with double cream, tea with lactofree milk.

 

[Antje77]

A very small drop of lemonade (barely covers the bottom of a soft drink glass), a generous drink of beerenburg (a Dutch spirit. Believe me, you won't like it), rest of the glass water. The little bit of lemonade seems to keep my sugars stable. I can drink a lot of this without going high or low. Don't try this at home.
Alternatively I drink the beerenburg pure and have something to eat. I like a fine whisky better but I like a cheap drink as well

 

[Rachox]

Nespresso coffee and double cream

 

[shelley262]

Gin and soda water with ice and lime no impact on bgs at all

 

[archersuz]

Coffee with cream. I think I'm addicted.......

 

[mountaintom]

LAVAZZA

 

[Alison Campbell]

More of a winter drink for me but https://lowcarbyum.com/copycat-baileys-irish-cream/

That reminds me got to make the icecream version of this

 

[Bluetit1802]

Red wine accompanied by a decaff coffee with double cream.

Before diabetes, in addition to the red wine, I loved a Honey Rum. I have a very small one at Christmas.

Hi @luv2spin ,

Are you looking for an LC alternative to a favourite tipple? Or a totally different alternative?

I'm more a voddy & D Coke kind of guy...

Antje, I'd give some of that beerenburg a go... Your right! I won't try this at home. Just next time I visit your country...

I was reading a book that said even though sweetners don't raise blood glucose they still cause a lot of insulin, and therefore they were no better than sugar, so that leaves me with water!

If it's anything like Bol's gin you can have it.

 

[Mr_Pot]

On the DESMOND course I attended they recommended gin and slimline tonic, possibly the main piece of information that most people took away with them.

I have similar tastes, don't like them too peaty.
Currently drinking Jura Origin.

With the insulin using types. The issue is the alcohol keeping the liver busy & stunting liver dump, if on course for a low? BS can drop faster than if in sobriety. Along with the effects of alchahol "masking" the symptoms..

Sorry. Had to say that. (Health & safety.)
