It is so hard for me to just drink water. Is there anything else you can drink that won't raise your blood sugar?

Members shared creative alternatives to plain water for staying hydrated without raising blood sugar, with popular suggestions including infused water with fruits or cucumbers, unsweetened tea (hot or iced), black coffee, and sugar-free drink mixes like Crystal Light. Several members recommended diet sodas, flavored carbonated water, and adding lemon or lime to water, while others mentioned less common options like Bovril with pepper, apple cider vinegar in hot water, or vegetable juice. A recurring theme was the importance of checking labels for hidden sugars and experimenting with different flavors to find what works best for individual tastes and health goals.

infused water. I don't like it myself (plain is my favorite) just slice up fruits, citrus, berries,or veggies cucumbers and put them in a pitcher or jug full of water. Also herbal teas can be very nice.

add some lemon or lime or orange slices to your water or try a diabetic cordial.

Have you tried those little packages that you add to your bottled water? My favourite is the Crystal Light, but there are so many on the shelves now, and are fairly reasonable in price and they last a long time. Now you can have flavoured water, calorie free, sugar free, and there are some amazing flavours to choose from.
