As a T2 I cannot drink the fizzy drinks any longer, makes me go to the loo a lot. The types of things that you drink can have an effect of your overall control, and if your readings are high as well as your HbA1c @ 14% sounds rather high. The high levels will make your eyes go bleary do the the pressure being high, have you had your retinopathy test done to check your eye condition? I also have depression and an under active thyroid, high blood pressure and just been confirmed with hearing loss in both ears, and my eyes get tired and achy, so things are quite similar.  I drink the Robinsons no added sugar squash as my cool drink, which I find the better drink for me.(summer fruits is my favourite) you could use chilled sparkling water to mix a drink with, but I just put half a bottle into a 4 pint milk bottle top up with tap water and chill, it does the job just fine.  I would say don't blame the drink's for your problems, you are 'over dosing' and it is having a bad effect on your overall condition control, ttfn from Karen.</blockquote>
