Dumb Diabetes

Any ideas on drinks that dont have artificial sweetners( i.e. aspartame, splenda) yet dont have sugar either? I’ve been drinking water only for 2 days and it’s driving me nuts.   i cant have sugar now and was told months ago no artificial sweetners.  This sucks big time.  I dont mind water in general and will chose it over other things sometimes but being stuck with no choice is different than my choosing to drink water when I have options.   day one of this diet and it sucks and my sugars have been high already.   guess when you start out the day with high fasting sugars theres no way to make it get better.  tried cleaning and keeping busy since exercise lowers sugar levels but that made me contract and have cramps it’s a no win situation.  take it easy but keep your sugar levels down on your own.  if I didnt eat i probably could but then that’s not good either.   geez….I’m grouchcy today if you cant tell. no more like depressed.  I know 11 weeks of this wont be so bad but this is hard to adjust to again.   I just hope it goes away after delivery or else life will really suck.    the chances of developing diabetes w/in 5 years after having gest. diabetes is high, Caleb is 4 + years old.   the 5 year mark is coming up and since then I’ve had insulin dependent gest. diabetes raising the risk more.    Ugh the things to look forward to….thanks dad for the great genes.  did I mention the family history of diabetes?  bah….gonna go lay down since Bo is napping, the house is clean and waiting for the laundry to finish.
