We especially use them when we're out for breakfast and her brothers are ordering juices or chocolate milk. I also carry sugar free hot chocolate packs and just ask the waitress bring hot water. Waitresses are so helpful when they see how small she is (5 years) and how she deals so matter-of-fact with her diabetes. She also loves to get hot tea when the waitresses brings out the basket and she gets to choose a cool flavor. But her absolute favorite thing, like Lee Ann, is to have more than one choice at the soda fountain!!

Uno Chicago Grill has Diet Mountain Dew in my area. I just about fell over when the waitress told me. It rocked. Never enough choices out there. Uno Chicago Grill has Diet Mountain Dew in my area.

I avoid Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke at night because they have caffeine, I also prefer a light cola for the sake of staining my teeth...but usually that leaves me with water! I sooo agree!

But I don't like her to have caffeine since she's only five. Unfortunately the choice is usually diet Coke or Pepsi. Occasionally a fountain will have Minute Maid Light lemonade (Target's cafe).
