Is the flavoured water that you can get in the shops good for diabetics I don’t like plain water

I drink it sometimes, just be careful to read the nutrition label because even though some of them are called flavoured water they can contain sugar.
How about flavouring your own water by infusing with a small amount of fruit? a couple of sliced strawberries, raspberries or sliced cucumber with some crushed fresh mint leaves, a few slices of lemon or lime are lovely and very refreshing and much healthier, I do this in a water bottle and put it in the fridge overnight and it’s amazing how much flavour you get

I don’t either but love plain sparkling water that’s very cold. You’d have to check the ingredients. They’re allowed to advertise stuff as sugar free but then put maltodextrin in and that will raise you BG.
Because everyone is different I think the best thing is to test your BG before drinking it then again 2 hours later to see if it gives you a spike.
