[QUOTE="StephenM, post: 381618, member: 69359"] Not sure this is the right sub-forum so feel free to move it. With the coming of the warmer weather I tend to consume more cold drinks. This is never a problem when at home but can be so when out and about. The choice for diabetics is often limited to coke or water! I have only ever been in one pub (forgotten the name) which had a range of diet drinks – it turned out one of the licensees was diabetic. The prices charged for bottled or canned versions are often OTT compared to the draught versions. However I have had some scary highs when I have been served the non-diet version. These days I carry some DiaStix (test for urine glucose) to check. It should be impossible to dispense the wrong drink but many staff these days seem disinterested or otherwise occupied. Sometimes I think it is deliberate with the person not realising it is for health reasons and not just calorie counting! The burger chains are the worst offenders although I only use then a few times a year and chuck the rubbish long life bun! [/QUOTE]
