Hi Kaylz
I drink loads of tea and coffee thought the day as well as water to keep myself hydrated.
I avoid sugary drinks, and when I drink alcohol it is in moderation.
I know that ll sounds boring but I have found it makes things easier to manage.

Water, tea, black coffee, diet tonic water and the very occasional beer. NB the tonic water does sometimes have a bit of gin in it 😉

Yuck guys sorry just can't stand tea haha I love my coffee and ever more so now - came out the hospital still having 2 sugars, 2 days later was seeing DSN and she didn't want me to leave without eating and having a drink she cut me down to 1 sugar 4 hours later i said to my mum I'll try without omg it was so much better felt like I'd been missing out haha x

I'm a coffee fiend as well. I haven't had sugar in it since I was diagnosed. Also have water or sugar free fizz or squash (unless it's a hypo!) Hydration is important whether diabetic or not.

I'm not keen on tap water so flavoured it is haha I could drink more coffee but since being diagnosed I've managed to stay in my bed all night without a loo visit and I'm kinda liking that so will stick to it unless it's cold and i need the extra heat well that's the excuse I'll use 🙂

I am a "Teaholic" any flavour & when at work half a spoon of sugar keeps me right. I work in different places everyday as an Electrician & like builders tea

4 bottles of water. Don't feel the need for anything else. I do like an Earl Grey with lemon if I'm in a cafe or on holiday. I also like Gin and Slimline Tonic if I'm having a night on the tiles.

Tap water that is, I ain't paying for water! I refill my bottles with the best the Lake District provides. 🙂

I very rarely drink fizz pop drinks and have not had any alcohol for 10 weeks now. I do drink tea, proper coffee and water.

Water, Black coffee, Green tea. I will indulge alcohol a bit over Christmas but in moderation. Fizzy drinks were my downfall, not had one since diagnosis and feel far less lethargic and tired.

A big mug of coffee with my brekky, a can of Lilt Zero lunchtime, water and sparkling water throughout the day , sometimes I have a big mug of coffee later on.
