I wouldn't say it is high - about 6g per cup and 2g fibre with a lot of vit c, calcium, b vits (not b12) and potassium. That is about the same sugars as eating 100g of the flesh.

All the ones I've looked at are between 5-9g carbs per 100ml which is too high for me.

A litre has more sugar than I consume in a month. And twice as much carbs as I consume in a day.

lol seeing as a cocnut has about a third of a cup why would you drink a litre? That is like saying I am not going to eat lettuce because 10 of them has more carbs than I eat in a day

I wouldn't, but the OP said "my very diabetic father is on his 1st litre today after much persuasion".

On the other hand Koko Dairy Free Coconut Fresh Milk Alternative has only 2.4 carbs in 100ml and is a very nice drink :)

I live right out in the sticks and no Asian shops anywhere near. A shame because I used to love shopping in them!
