What can I drink?

I found out today I have type 2 diabetes my A1C is 6.6 and my Dr put me on Metformin ER my question is I need to drink more water and water isn't my favorite thing to drink so is there any good water flavoring I can use?

  1. , this is a great question! I hope others may be able to chime in and share what flavorings they use for their water. I personally don't mind water, so I usually just drink regular water, but sometimes I drink it with lavender that's been steeped overnight. We have some articles where others have suggested ideas: https://type2diabetes.com/nutrition/water-can-learn-to-love-it Hope this helps! Best, Minel (Team Member)

    1. Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing all of your favorite teas! I think that of all of the teas, peach is my favorite. Do you remember when malls used to have the store Teavana? It was wonderful to check out different types. Anyway, thanks again for sharing. -Lauren (team member)

    2. I do remember Teavana!
      Spent a lot of money there.

      Peach is my favorite too 😋

  2. I've started drinking Clear American flavored sparkling water thru Walmart. (It's 0 calories, 0 fat, 0 sodium, & 0 carbs) and yes they taste good. And come in several flavors.....Mandarin Orange, Strawberry, Black Cherry, & Peach

    1. That sounds delicious and refreshing, ! Thanks for chiming in. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
