I have struggled with the need for healthy Energy for most of my life. Coffee is nice, but the energy doesn't last and makes me too jittery.
I've learned some things that I know can help the average diabetic, if you will put them to use. The ingredients that go into an energy drink can either help you or be making your diabetes much worse, so I've found it's important to choose a good one.
Most of the drinks sold at your corner store are totally focused on giving you a powerful rush, but not concerned with doing it in a healthy way. They use cheap, less effective vitamins for window-dressing. Caffeine, taurine, and flavorings do most of the work -- and both sugar, as well as artificial "zero carb" sweeteners create worse long-term problems, so they should be avoided.
It's crazy to be drinking something that is making your basic problem worse. But that's what most energy drinks are doing.
If you want a healthy, better-quality energy, then you can save money by buying a supply by mail-order and get energy drinks that aren't making your diabetes worse.
The Youngevity company has a big selection of energy drinks and healthy sports drinks used by professional athletes, as well as amateurs who are serious about getting the best results -- now and for the long term. You don't need to sacrifice flavor for effectiveness.
These are formulated by doctors and sports trainers -- and used by those who care about their long-term health, such as Dr. Wallach, himself. Doc Wallach's favorite is the Pollen Burst, which is a little sweeter than the A.C.T. Energy, which is my long-time favorite (powered by guarana and green tea extract). Both are delicious and energize you, without the crash of store-bought junk.
Youngevity is a huge, publicly-traded company, and delivers in many countries. They also have a much-improved Website, so it's easier to find energy drinks under the "Food & Drink" listing, right as you enter their Website.
Their new Aquagevity brand is sugar-free, sweetened with Stevia and can be added to cold water in their unique filter bottle (or added to tea).
