Sugar Free / Diabetic Groceries
We are moving to Doha from South Africa next month...
My husband is a diabetic so please can someone tell what diabetic / sugar free products are available, in the stores there, especially:
Sugar replacements / Sweetners / Sweetner Tablets
Sugar free biscuits / cakes / sweets
Sugar Free peanut-butter, Diabetic jams / spreads
Sugar Free sodas (Coke Lite, Spite Zero, Tab, etc)
Sugar Free Ice-cream
Low GI breads and pastas
I would really appreciate some insight as to what to expect and what is available, before we arrive.
Many thanx!
All the Diabetics out there should follow Charran's advise & join the Diabetic society. The Diabetic society in Doha is very good, well informed and up to date with all kinds of info. And as he says it is free of charge. This is also one of Shka Moza's projects. So if you need any help, or if you are a diabetic, go there for assistance.
