I'm not type 1, so please just take this as incidental info until someone who knows more about this chips in, but sometimes 'not suitable for diabetics' is a disclaimer they put on everything, just in case someone has a mishap: it appears on Scholl insoles, for example. As far as your cystitis sachets go, it could just be that they are full of sucrose. HOWEVER, please check with other users or a doctor in case it really is something else. It might help if you can put up the brand name or components of the sachets.
