OMG, I thought I was the only person in the world who gets horrific headaches if I don't eat on time. Some of it may really be issues associated with having diabetes, but my hands get shaky, I turn into an absolute witch--snappy, irritable, light-headed, and of course the headaches--and that's even if my glucose reading is normal or even high. That's what scaring me the most, is the pre-op diet. I'm going to grit my teeth and do it, but I've already warned my husband that I'm going to be nearly unbearable to be around. I hate headaches! :sad0:

I have one of those Soda Maker thingies, where you buy the syrup for making the soda, and use a carbon dioxide cannister for the fizzy part. Now I'm going to have to see what it tastes like making the drinks (without carbonation) into ice pops! Because I have diabetes, I gave up sugar three years ago, so at least I've already adjusted to diet beverages. Ice pops would be perfect for summer though, since it gets absolutely oven-hot around here. May have to try it with Crystal Light, too. My current favorites are White Grape and Peach Mango Green Tea. Thanks for the idea!
