[QUOTE="rpoulter, post: 41880, member: 7703"] but here's the thing..Diabetics are always thirsty!! So what can we drink of an evening? :? Tea/Coffee -- Caffeine rich no sleep, non-Caffeine-tastes of nothing! Tried fruit teas but my palate likes stronger tastes, they are far too subtle to taste of anything but hot water Fruit juices -- Too much sugar Diet Drinks -- Found the artificial sweeteners don't agree with me(bad stomach pain) Spirits --- Need to mix it but It can't be with any of the 2 above!! Water ------ My only standby when not drinking beer.But after 1 litre needs something to taste. Wine ------- Occasional glass of Red , but not a thirst quencher! Milk ------ You can only drink so much milk.. even semi-skimmed contains bad fat. so that leaves me with my tipple and have discovered that 3 cans 4.0% lager most nights actually reduces my morning test, but when I have water BS level is +20%. Strong Lager,Beer(both processed and Real Ale) both increase the BS so stay away from them. Does anyone have any other ideas?? [/QUOTE]
