This is a loooong shot...anyone know # carbs in a slushie drink?

[RamseyTrio]

Our DS8 is a diabetic so we have to count carbs...he loves those frozen slushie/slurpee/icee type drinks but I've never been able to find the carb info for it...
Anyone have a clue?
We're staying at POP and I know they sell them there and that he'll want a "treat" once or twice

Thanks!

They are probably the ICEE brand. I bet ICEE has a website somewhere. I do know that Sonic's slushies have nutriotional information on thier website.

I guess, you could look at Sonic's for an educated ballpark guess.

Our ds9 is also diabetic and through trial and error, we estimated the slurpees at Pop to be about 15 carbs per 8 oz. At first, we guessed 30 carbs (which is what most juices are) and he went low. We then tried 20 carbs, and he still went a little low. Of course, being at Disney, he had plenty of exercise which tends to lower his blood sugar.

The calorieking website that Rowlf found is very interesting, although it may be too detailed. As of a few weeks ago, Pop had blue raspberry and coca cola icees. Calorieking shows the following carb counts for those flavors. I definitely wouldn’t go with the 54 carb examples.

Icee Arctic Blast, Blue Raspberry - 54
Icee Arctic Blast, Minute Maid Blue Raspberry - 17
Icee Minute Maid, Blue Raspberry - 17
Icee, Blue Raspberry - 54
Icee Arctic Blast, Coca Cola -18
Icee, Coca Cola -18
