Bring Some Healthy Bubbles Into Your Life! #2BSparkling @2BDrinks #Giveaway #Ad

*This is a sponsored post with 2B Drinks, however, as always my posts are based on my opinions and experiences.

In July, 2005, I found out that I was expecting our second child and my husband and I couldn’t be happier. We were very eager to give our older son a sibling and I immediately began to follow all of my obstetrician’s orders while I was under his care.

A few months into the pregnancy, I was tested for gestational diabetes and the results were positive. My doctor made it very clear that I had to follow a strict diet during my pregnancy in order to ensure that the baby remain healthy. While I was scared and worried, I made sure that I followed all of my doctor’s orders to the letter and eventually gave birth to a healthy 7 pound boy.

After giving birth, I was tested to see if my glucose levels had returned to normal and they had. The doctor warned me, however, that having gestational diabetes along with our family history of diabetes, increased my chances of developing it later on. This made me more aware of what kinds of foods I was consuming on a daily basis.

Fast forward to the present, my glucose levels came back elevated again last year and I was formally diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. From my previous experiences, I knew the changes that I had to make in order to take control of my health. Besides taking medication, I began to monitor my sugar intake closely and to read food labels carefully.

Recently I was happy to learn that 2B Drinks had become available in the Tri-State area and is an all-natural, lower calorie beverage. 2B is made with Purefruit which is a zero calorie sweetener that originates from monk fruit. This makes 2B drinks taste sweet and delicious but without the calories of other sweeteners. As a matter of fact, the NYC Department of Education has approved 2B Sparkling for sale in over 2500 school vending machines.

For those of us who are living with diabetes, going untreated or not monitoring our diets can be detrimental to our health. Since 2B Drinks Sparkling only has 12 grams of sugar per 16 oz., I can enjoy something slightly sweet without taking risks with my health. That is less than half the amount of sugar that is contained in other leading soft drinks of the same size.

2B Drinks are currently only available in the NYC Tri-State area but you can still enjoy them if you don’t live in this area by simply ordering them from Amazon and enjoying free shipping. They are currently available in 3 flavors including Chocolate, Vanilla and Lemon Ice. Did I forget to mention that all of these flavors are caffeine free?

Make sure you check out the new 2B Drinks website to learn all about why they are such a great tasting, all-natural, sparkling drink that will fit all of your lifestyles, whether you are young or old!
