where would find a sugar free sports drink?

i’m a diabetic living in the az desert and need a sugar free sports drink to make it through the HOT summers. something like gatorade.

SUGAR-FREE “SPORTS DRINK”

1 packet or container sugar-free drink mix (to make 2 qts)
1/4 tsp table salt
4 potassium tablets (99 mg each)
2 quarts water

Take about 1/4 cup of the water and put in a cup with the potassium tablets. Heat in the microwave until the water gets close to boiling. Stir to dissolve the tablets. Add the salt and stir.

Put the drink mix in a pitcher, add water, and stir until the drink mix is dissolved. Add the salt/potassium solution and mix thoroughly. Chill.

Per 8-oz serving: 5 cal, about 75 mg sodium, 50 mg potassium. ZERO POINTS.

If you’d like less sodium, use a 1/8-tsp measure, and do one level measure plus 1/2 of another. This will cut the sodium to about 55 mg/serving instead of 75. (FYI, 1/4 tsp of salt contains 590 mg sodium.)

This drink tastes just fine… it has the characteristic slight saltiness that one associates with the commercial sports drinks, but it’s not objectionable at all.
