ChocZero’s sugar-free syrup – A Diabetes Story

Erin Sluka

Recently I shared a whirlwind of a medical story about my own Mother this past winter – all of the details are here. The main idea from her story is to never ignore symptoms , or try to self-diagnose and get your regular check-up results and understand them!

My Mom is back to her (almost) normal self and is learning how to live as a diabetic. My late Grandmother and some Uncles of mine have battled diabetes and are insulin dependent and I am amazed at how far medicine and brands have come to making it easier to manage diabetes. There are scanning devices that void the need for finger pokes for insulin checks and even food brands that offer snacks and meals that taste great without the added sugars a Diabetic has to avoid.

ChocZero is one of these brands offering diabetics and dieters options for foods without the sugars and sugar alcohols and they also offer the lowest of carbs. Have you tried the ChocZero Maple Vanilla sugar-free Syrup?

ChocZero has just revised their ingredients to contain even less carbs than before. Bottles of their syrup proudly display 1g net carb a serving. It is the ONLY syrup on the market without sugar or sugar alcohols! To add, the syrup is also GMO free, low carb, all natural and no preservatives. They use monk fruit to sweeten the syrup and do not add water to dilute the syrup. It is so thick and delicious!

If it is not breakfast time for you, perhaps you need a chocolate treat! The chocolate squares are available in milk and dark chocolate varieties and you really should try the KETO Bark-Yum!

You can buy ChocZero products on their website shop or on Amazon!

HINT launches kid-friendly Tetra boxes that help children drink more water

Erin Sluka

With a 10 year old who has ongoing constipation and digestion issues, drinking water is the number 1 thing he can do to lessen his symptoms. He is on a Miralax regimen and for that to work, water is imperative. The big problem is he hates drinking water. It is such a fight to get him to drink a healthy amount. I needed a solution that works to help children drink more water and HINT was my answer.

HINT water for kids comes in four fruit flavors, Watermelon, Cherry, Blackberry and Apple. Hydrate your thirsty kids with our refreshing fruit-flavored waters that contains no juice, sugar or sweeteners.

HINT kids waters are available at drinkhint.com, and soon at Costco and grocery and specialty stores nationwide. I also found it on Amazon. This is a long-awaited water for parents like me who struggle to get water down their kids with no other option but sugar juices!
