Hi Lez
As a diabetic too I have problem in finding "sugar free" drinks. Beware that the copied diet coke may contain sugar. I found that I had to ask and make sure it was the original stuff as my sugar levels shot up once when I had the diet coke I thought was imported. Once I knew it was ok then I tended to stick to the shack that sold it (Bobbys)
Thanks

India, as a nation, has a very sweet tooth, and has far as i've been made aware, they suffer the health consequences. When you are in Goa check out the ingredients in a bottle of Bacardi Breezer, you'll notice the primary ingredient(first on the list) is sugar then water, it's the other way around in this country. Can you imagine how much sugar that is, mind you , they do also drink the juice from raw sugar cane.
When I was in Calcutta I tried that sugarcane drink, the most disgusting drink I have ever tasted, 
the vendor was right upset when I gave it back, I think he thought I was going to ask for my 2 rupees back. 
If I stay off the Carbohydrates then I'm ok with the odd full fat coke, but I wouldn't drink one from choice.
I take it that fresh fruit juice is readily available, brandy and mango juice with watermelon?

As an alternative to diet coke or water, try the fresh lime sodas. Ask for them plain though or they'll add sugar. They're really refreshing and delicious.

Thats an idea GEC I've not tried it.
I like the banana lassi - but sometimes forget to ask them not to put sugar in it

I'm a vodka and diet coke girl , got it everywhere we drank. Sure it was only about a pound, and that was adouble smirnoff
do you all have ice in these drinks?? or does it depend where you are??

fresh lime and soda's with gin / vodka if you're struggling - I always have ice in my drinks it make all the difference
Dont you get ill taking the ice?
Yeah considering the amount of alcohol you get in a Goa measures I dont mind paying 20 extra ruppees for a diet coke!!!
been to goa three times and never had a problem with the ice......I always bring a thermal cup with me ......to keep my drinks cold .......I ask the beach shacks or hotel to fill it with ice and bring me ......water juice ....coke or whatever ......and it keeps it cold for ages....keeps the flies out too.... ....good. 
Hmmmmm i think i will try that one! Thanks for the handy hint.
I wonder when they will get slimline tonic, that will save me a barrowload of calories. Well you need the quinine don't you!!
Fresh Lime Soda, covered with a napkin and drunk quickly through a straw is a very good way of sobering up quickly. Have used this many times when I might have had one or two too many and need to walk back to the hotel. You don't want to be staggering down those roads late at night.
Haven't got the faintest idea why it works but it does - don't take my word for it, try it.
