Here’s a post on low-sugar options from a few weeks back: http://lovingthebike.com/nutrition-tips/non-sugar-nutrition-for-cyclists. Also, with the diluted apple juice, just 1/12 – 1/8 tsp salt will give you 200-300 mg sodium, so it can be an adequate drink in terms of fluid, carbs, and lytes for you when training in heat/humidity. Take care and all the best!

Thanks for posting this. I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes so high sugar / glucose snacks and drinks are now off limits. So I am on the lookout for alternatives. Although these contain honey, that should be ok when I am out on a long ride. Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

PS I have substituted diluted apple juice for energy rinks and have found no drop in performance / endurance which is great.
