Diabetes
We have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes or are pre-diabetic because our bodies are becoming resistant to insulin or our pancreas is not producing as much as is required. Those of us with Type 1 diabetes are completely unable to produce insulin while many of us with Type 2 diabetes can produce insulin but our cells just don't respond to it. To work with our diabetes we may combine insulin, diet management and exercise to live a healthier life. And by shifting to a healthy lifestyle that cuts fats and simple sugars, those of us who are pre-diabetic can fight the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Okay, here's the thing. I don't have diabetes, but I just found out about a month ago that I am extremely allergic to all types of sugar, honey, oranges, calcium propionate, pyrene, benzyl acetate, yellow #5, and a few other minor things. Now, since having to take out sugar from my diet immediately I never had a chance to fully prepare for this big change in lifestyle, and my mom won't let me go to a dietition for more help. I was wondering if any of you had some good home-made, sugar-free foods you could recommend.

mySmoothie Raspberry 100% Pure Fruit Drink
The raspberry flavor on these wasn't as strong as I expected, nor was it as thick as I expected a 'smoothie' to be. This really seemed more like a juice mix than a smoothie to me. I think I'd consider adding yogurt to this to give it a thicker, 'smoothie' texture.
Also be aware - the nutritional information on the carton itself is for 100 ml of the 250 ml container so it can be misleading. The nutritional info on this site a better reference for an entire box. At 31 carbs, I find a box is too much for a serving myself.
