Not sure which type of pedialyte you are talking about. If you have some on hand you could just look at the label. But if not maybe this link will help.

If I were you I'd get some Propel fitness water. It tastes way better.

You need to see your MD ASAP! Soaking it the tub 2-3 times a day for a 1/2 hr or so, will help with dehydration as well. Be sipping on water all the time.

Check the label, on the Pedialyte. See if you can find sugar free Gatorade. It is full of electrolytes.. and good for you.

How are your numbers? If you are that dehydrated, a trip to the hospital might be a good idea. Call your doc. Yes, Pedialyte contains sugar, not much but some. I think it is like 7 carbs per 8 oz - but don't quote me. I know that I can't give it to my son when he is high. I would stick with crystal light for no carbs, but also get some juice because all of that vomiting might make you very low. Are you testing? Often? Good luck

try crystal lites hydration, it works wonderful - tastes great - and is sugarless. but you should really talk to your docotor or check for keytones. it sounds like you could be DKA or heading that way
