Message: <blockquote data-quote="tramelia" data-source="post: 598066" data-attributes="member: 63550">My Husband has type 2 diabetes.  He was on Metformin to control it.  Recently, he suffered from Kidney Failure and Acute Sepsis.  He was in Intensive care where he went onto dialysis for 72 hours.  During his stay in hospital, he was taken off of all his medication, because with the Kidney Failure, all the medication was building up in his Kidneys and was killing him.  During his stay in hospital, he was receiving 3 meals a day, and his blood sugar seemed under control, so they sent him home without Metformin.  His blood sugar seems to be reasonably under control by his diet, as I am trying to give him 3 meals a day.  However, because of his Kidney problems, he has to drink a lot more than he ever used to.  He used to drink diet cola, but we have read that this is not so good for him.  We switched to Tesco 50% fruit Squash.  The big question I have is, is this squash ok for him, he drinks at least 2 litres of it a day (diluted of course, and not too strong),  I have searched and searched the internet for the answer, all I can find, is that pure fruit juice is not very good for diabetics, a small amount is ok, but not too much.  So I am so lost, please, can anybody help me to help my husband.  I will just add that he hates just water.  Thank you to all that read this post, and I thank you for any answers you may give.Thank youTracy</blockquote>
