I sometimes crave for really cold pure orange juice or charlies, something like that, but being a 2 diabetic these drinks (correct me if i am wrong) are not good for you. If you water them down, say half, is the sugar content the same... . I usually water them down, as find some a little sweet... just curious

Why don't you try a sugar free concentrate such as Barker and Halls Orange Barley or Lemon Barley - delicious.

Yes, i have tried those, they are ok, but find they leave a funny taste in my mouth, and i need lots of water. it is just now and then I realy crave for orange juice.

Logic would suggest that if you water them down by 50% then you have reduced the concentration of fructose by 50%.

Try tiogapass's suggestions with chilled soda water. You only need a tiny bit and it's very refreshing.

I allow myself (type 2) a small glass full of pure orsnge juice per day approx 100mls and count it as a piece of fruit. As for those sugar free drinks they are full of artificial crap and I no longer drink them because of the chronic foul after taste.

same with me, i would rather go without and drink water than drink diet type drinks.

Apple juice is one juice that seems to retain its full flavour when watered down and chilled. You can sometimes buy pure apple juice at Famers' Markets.

maybe just eat 1 x orange ? That may satisfy the craving
