DIABETIC snacks/drinks

[JJ]

The best hydration drink is one that you can make yourself very easily.

Use coconut water. Read the label on this. Make sure it says coconut water only. Some brands have other additives. Ignore those.
Lemon or lime juice, as much or as little as you want - I prefer lime.
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. You can adjust this to taste.
I use honey or agave. For diabetics, use your favorite sweetner. Turvia is excellent and can be purchased at Costco.

The sea salt and coconut water have amazing hydration and electrolyte replacement qualities. You can also dilute with water to taste.
The sugar content in lime or lemon is not much at all.
I believe on average one lemon has 1.5g of sugar. One lime has more or less 1.1g of sugar.
If that creates a problem, reduce the amount or replace with something else.

Hope this helps. Enjoy.

I dont have diabetes
Yet
Does run in my family
But I have been dehydrated a few times
Pedialight always got me back to normal fast
But a grip of water before getting there is probably best

This is spot on. 2x 2x 2x
I run very long desert offroad loops on dirtbikes 7-9 hr days, mountaineer above 13,000' for 5-7 day trips and a ton of other not as intense sports. The content above is so perfect. Carry a few snickers if your sugars drop. Or maybe some clifbar shot blocks. I use those at high altitude when your appetite is gone.
