What is a good source of electrolytes for a diabetic?

My husband is sick and wound up in the ER yesterday with dehydration (they think he has a viral infection.) He s been released, but is still sick and can t get in to see his doctor until Tuesday. What would be a good drink to keep him hydrated? The problem is he is diabetic, so Gatorade, Powerade, and Pedialyte are poor choices. His illness has elevated his blood sugar as well, so it s something we re having to monitor closely.
We would be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks.
