Amaretto

[sammy1998]

Does anyone know if Amaretto is ok for a diabetic to drink?

I would stay clear, it says here that there is 30g carbs per serving!

A few other tipples on there too if anyone is interested

Best to stick to spirits with low cal mixers or red or dry white wine and of course in moderation

Thanks for your reply. Last New Year's Eve I had Bacardi & diet coke but was going to try something different this year. Better stick to Bacardi this year I think!!

Bacardi and diet coke is my best friend. Well, whenever the 5 litre cartons of Lidl gin run out. It beats the meths.

Doh! I'm recently diagnosed and trying to educate myself what is good and bad. Till now, a lager drinker. Last night I thought I was being good and only drank Amaretto with diet coke. No wonder i feel like **** today! :***:

Best drink to have is diet coke and Bacardi. Think whiskey, gin and vodka are ok too.

I'm always good with a gin and tonic! Obviously in moderation
