Posted over 4 years ago My best friend has an 11 year old daughter that is mentally handicapped and she is also Type 2 diabetic. She is a very picky eater. She does not like water, will NOT drink it. the last time I tried to get her to drink a glass of water, i ended up wearing it. what would you suggest for lowering her blood sugar? |

| Posted over 4 years ago Could they try some of those things you can add to water for flavor, but don't have sugar? Maybe crystal light or something? Also I think a tea brand (maybe Arizona) has a sugar free flavored drink mix too. |

| Posted over 4 years ago I was going to say like Kristy. You can buy crystal light that comes in the little canisters, they are sugar free and obviously mostly water which will help where her diabetes is concerned, plus if you get pink lemonade or another flavor like that, she won't be able to tell it's water. Hope this helps, Alayna |
