I agree it is hard to imbibe as most of the drinks are high in carbs as well as the Polynesian foods. I don't think you have to go cold turkey though, you just need to prepare ahead of time. I am not diabetic, but doing Weight Watchers which essentially is a glorified diabetic diet. Not many bars carry diet tonic or sodas, so if you go to a certain place all the time, see if they would stock for you or let you bring in an unopened sugar-free soda/mixer. At least you can have an acceptable beverage served with a fruit slice in a Tiki mug.
