Erm, I'm diabetic and I drink Robinson's No Added Sugar squash. The amount you use when diluting a glassfull is totally negligible. (at a guess you might use 20ml concentrate, so that has 0.1g sugar). His nurses want to be looking for another cause if his blood sugars are consistently high.

OP - stuff like Diet Coke / Lemonade has zero sugar if you want to get him something.

littlesnuggy is totally right!!

Sometimes the NHS is woefully inadequate when it comes to advice re diabetes .
As littlesnuggy says , its highly unlikely that the squash is causing the high sugars is he type 1 or 2? ......and why is he in hospital ? , infections can send sugar levels soaring

My husband is diabetic too & he drinks squash not the no added sugar kind as I do not let the children have sweetners & his dietician says its ok because once diluted its not really a problem. Also bear in mind diabetic stuff can cause diarrhea (sp)!
