[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2277502, member: 480869"] Cream, watered down, might be an option. What about some of the different teas to drink? I like a lot of the herbal ones, not so keen on the fruity ones. My tastebuds don’t expect either milk or sugar with those as a bonus. They can be chilled too. Or water with mint, cucumber, berries, lemon, lime in there for flavour. You might be ok with the sugar free squashes but personally I don’t like the artificial sweeteners and my blood glucose reacts to some of them too. Don’t forget it’s the “carbohydrates” bit of the label you need to pay attention to not the “of which sugars” bit. The only time it needs amending is if there is a sugar alcohol you are happy using that can be deducted. Many times that is maltitol and I don’t deduct that as it still raises my bgl. Others do ok on it. Be careful of “digestive disruptions “ if you eat a lot of that one though. If it’s Erythritol or xylitol I do deduct those carbs as they don’t effect me. [/QUOTE]
