Diabetics know all about substitutes. Personally, I hate most of them. That "tastes like sugar" doesn't to me. I can detect any artificial sweetener immediately, and I don't like how any of them taste. I prefer to do without than to consume something that tastes like crap.
At least Snapple is doing something I like. They have added a few new items that are better for diabetics, although they don't advertise them as such.
But, one of these products, red tea peach pomegranate flavor is billed as an all natural, low calorie anti oxident drnk.
Sweetened with fructose and fruit juice, it is about half the calorie total and sugar of most drinks. It does not have a really sweet taste, but instead is nore like a sports drink, which are not really sweet to me.
It's not perfect for diabetics (that would be water) but it is better than regular sweetened drinks, and much better (taste wise) than artificial junk.

Thanks for this nice article. My father is a diabetes patient and he really love sweets but your article help to to make his wish full fill.
I finally noticed you have other blogs in your column on your humor blog..forgive me for not noticing before.. This is the perfect blog for me. Every female in my family OTHER than me has diabetes. It runs rampant and by the time they hit 50 it becomes deadly. I on the other hand have the opposite, hypoglycemia. However, now that I have a daughter who is pre-teen age, I have to start watching for the signs again. I've gone back and read the other posts, great tips and advice. Ever looked at how dangerous it is to have too little sugar food wise? I've often wondered if removing all sugary foods and using substitutes lends to the problem.
