My diabetic nurse told me to switch to fevertree light and now i wonder if that is bad advice. I dont like the taste of diet drinks so wonder if soda water is better

We have fizzy water, plenty of ice and a real good squeeze of lemon juice and it’s gorgeous. It’s no different to adjusting to no sugar in your tea / coffee, takes a little while to adjust to but enhances the flavour of the gin! Remember to also be careful with ‘fancy gins’ many of them are VERY sweet. i can’t stand the artificial flavour of ‘slimlines’ definitely don’t want to use Aspartame and now find them overwhelmingly sweet.

It was 3 months after diagnosis that I went on the course and by that time I had found out from this forum and elsewhere all the information that was on the course. I would still advocate going if you can spare the time as you don't know what you don't know. They do officially use the Eatwell Guide although I found privately the nurse was not against low carb. It has to be said that for some people on the course the Eatwell Guide and its portion control would probably be a big improvement.
