welcome here darrentjp

well my advice learn to eat in a totally different style , and understand that you are to change preferences :

low carb high fat eating style is much better for you ... sugary drinks and sugary meals will never ever be a bigger part of ones life a type 2 if one wants to live long and especially without further complications and adding diseases..

Are you also looking at the total carbohydrate content in the foods you eat? Sugar is only one component, starch is equally as bad, so any starchy foods need to be reduced. These include bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, cereals, pastry, anything made with flour.

I gave up coke and Pepsi and I found I wasn't as thirsty. Well worth giving up

I have given up coke and Pepsi and found I wasn't as thirsty. I just gave all fizzy drinks up. Medication for other things gives me a very dry mouth, so it really helped me.
