CoffeedrinkerinNC Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'm looking for a good alternative to gatorade, am I diabetic and don't want the extra sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'm pre-diabetic, and have been using Powerade Zero sports drink. I'm not sure, but I think it's Gatorade with sucralose instead of sugar - made by Coca Cola. I read a year or so ago to dilute it 1:1 with water, and that seems to be doing a nice job, so far.

tyler2you Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I like Pedialyte powder. It comes in little pouches that you can dump in a bottle of water. It mixes easily in cold water and is low in calories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to reduce the mass transitioning from shooting position to shooting position. So far Powerade Zero has been helping me keep calories down and stay hydrated when I have the foresight to bring it to the range. It is also delicious. It definitely beats the old plan of a rockstar energy drink and a few coke zeros throughout the day in terms of hydration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassblower Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I've been using Ultima Replenisher as it has the electrolytes without the sugar and has nothing artificial. It's a powder and it mixes easily with water. I usually take a couple of bottles of water and mix the powder into the bottle. Oh, and it tastes pretty good for a natural product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 VITALYTE is another good product for this. It can be found at most hiking-camping stores. It has 11g of sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucardus Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I use this Elete electrolyte supplement its sugar free and zero calories. You just add a couple drops to your water and its good to go. They have both unflavored and lightly citrus flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 shooter Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 My system doesn't like the acid in Gatorade. How do some of these mentioned do on acid or the lack thereof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joerenew Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Gnc carries an oral Iv and a bottle of aqua hydrate water which is ph 9+ both are excellent for recovery on there own but combined is magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmalin06 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm not too sure how it effects a diabetic, but have you tried some of the pickle juice packets? They are great here in Texas for the summer time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be found at most hiking-camping stores.It has 11g of sugar.Gatorade g2 has 12 grams, probably cheaper and easier to find as well. I actually prefer g2 to Gatorade.

biglou13 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Funny this came up today i left the range today dehydrated.. i had had plenty of water with me. But only drank one small bottle during match the excitement and adrenaline easily masks thirst, hunger, fatigue, mental fatigue. once match ended, and the rush and adrenaline let off I felt surprisingly exhausted if you get to point where you are very thirsty.... It's most likely to late, to make recovery by end of match. you will be playing catch up, not to mention decreased mental acuity. sure I grab a g2 every now and again. what makes more sense is to drink water, dilute fruit juice and eat your electrolytes naturally, Also helps keep blood sugar at even keel apple, orange, banana , celery,, carrots, nuts and cheese, think REAL food, Of the convenience products I like Lara bars. ( which I will remember to bring next time) i've decided I'm setting phone to remind me to snack and hydrate throughout match day.

lordy123 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Lately I've been using a little apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and a squirt of mio energy. It's super cheap, refreshing, and doesn't taste bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also diabetic and use a combination of VitaRain Zero (Costco vitamin enhanced water) and Propel Zero (water and electrolyte supplement, also at Costco) I don't mix them together, just alternate between the two during the match. I usually drink one bottle per stage (or more if it's hot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrymSIX Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Any of the sports drinks will have too much sweetener or sugar in them if you drink them as they are. Too much sugar so they just run straight through and get flushed out. If you cut it with water at least 50/50 or as much as 75/25 your body will be able to absorb the electrolytes much better and you'll feel more hydrated throughout the day. Also since there's less sugar this way its a lot less likely to upset your stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoMan Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I also use the Elete Electrolyte concentrate. It has a slightly salty flavor, so I often will add a squeeze of a lemon or lime slice to the water. Also there are several companies that make electrolyte tables w/o any sugar or other artificial ingredients. I use the brand Salt Sticks, and just take the tablets with some water, as needed. They are less expensive than some of the others, like NUNN tablets. Personally, I avoid artificial sweeteners, as well as sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrondoShooter Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Coconut water is a good one, however, I'm on a Ketogenic diet so chicken bRoth out of the container is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBolt Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I am trying a product called Liquid IV. It does contain sugar but the amount is far less than Gatorade and it is not a sugar substitute that can wreak havoc on your blood sugar levels. The balance of salt, sugar, B-vitamins, and minerals are supposed to be optimal for cell absorption. Costco online has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
