As a newbie to type 2 diabetics I now have a sore throat and was wondering what is safe to take re lozenges etc without any sugar. I can't even make myself a lemon and honey drink to ease my throat. Any suggestions folks, you have all been so helpful so far
 
gargle with some salty water, just don't swallow it...helps me usually.
 
Hope you feel better soon, @Tange !

Get yourself a sachet of Hartley's sugar free jelly granules. Boil the kettle, put about a teaspoonful of the granules into a mug, fill mug with boiling water, stir well and leave to stand until not too hot to drink. And then drink.

Very, very soothing. One sachet is enough to do this four times. And they sell them in a twin pack for around 75p, so very good value. Lots of flavours to choose from.
