Diabetes

I originally became interested in researching Diabetes after a dear friend, my father-in-law, my wife's aunt, and the teenage son of some friends were all diagnosed with diabetes. Then my own father was erroneously diagnosed with diabetes and was placed on a diabetic diet for over a year before it was determined that he did not in fact have diabetes. Nevertheless, diabetes was definitely raised in my conscienceness level. The information is provided on this site to help better understand diabetes, its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and some natural solutons. This information is for educational purposes only therefore if you or a loved one suspect that you may have diabetes, seek out a professional medical practioner.

Diabetes Drink - 3 Sugar Free Drink Solutions

Author: Carol Ann Bentley

Don't you just hate it when you ask for a sugar free drink in a pub or restaurant and all they've got to offer is diet cola or water? Or you're offered a pure fruit juice - "Well, that's sugar free - isn't it?" No it isn't - the naturally occurring sugar is rather high, but here are a few drinks you might like to try...

I got so fed up of the standard cola offer, I decided to experiment and you might like to try these alternatives to 'just cola'.

1) Mix diet cola and diet tonic water in the same glass. It gives a slightly sharper taste and makes a very long, refreshing drink on a hot day.

2) Split a pure fruit juice (e.g. orange) with a friend and add sparkling water to your half. Or try mixing it with diet tonic water.

If you want to make a refreshing drink at home, try this pineapple slushy:

Take 1 can sugar-free ginger ale, add 1/4 cup of unsweetened pineapple juice and ice cubes. Place in a blender and blend until the ice-cubes are crushed and you get a slushy mixture.

Why not experiment with other unsweetened fruit juices? And, if you want a little bit more of a kick, you could add rum extract to give more flavor.

If you have any ideas for sugar-free drink recipes I'd love to hear about them.
