For parents of Diabetic children only -?

Question

how many drinks a week say do you give your active children that are made with splenda or asperteme etc. My 5 year old is very active and doesnt really drink enough water. How many gatorade drinks could he have a week that are 40 calories? Or do u use the capri sun water waves alot? Or the Minute Made Water fall? I am a little afraid of too much artificial sugar.

Answer 1

okay, i'm not a parent of a diabetic child but since you haven't gotten any answers yet and since i had gestational diabetes....

have you tried seltzer? some kids who won't drink water will drink seltzer (or if it's too bubbly, half seltzer, half water), and i agree too much artificial sugar is probably a bad thing....
