Ocean Spray has "Light Cranberry Juice Cocktail," which only has 10 grams of sugar per serving.
There are also Cranberry pills you can buy at any pharmacy. These will be more potent than juice, and should be completely safe to take. I buy mine at Wal-Greens.

If you need to buy her some cranberry pills at a pharmacy.
http://www.elliottsamazing.com/cranberryjuice.html
"Cranberry pills and capsules are sold in health-food stores and pharmacies. One brand is
marketed as a convenient way to get the benefits of cranberry juice "without the
unnecessary, and nutritionally harmful, calories." The pills are purported not only to prevent
or treat UTIs, but also to treat kidney stones and act as a "urine deodorizer" for those
troubled by urinary incontinence.
A Good Housekeeping Institute study of cranberry pills, however, found that they vary
greatly in the amount of cranberry concentrate they contain, in the number of pills
recommended per day, and in their price. The manufacturers base their claims about the pills'
effectiveness against UTIs on studies using cranberry juice. But there is no scientific
evidence that cranberry pills are effective. Nor is there evidence that cranberry pills prevent
kidney stones or "deodorize" the urine.
Jerry Avorn, MD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, was a
researcher in the JAMA study. He doubts the effectiveness of cranberry pills or capsules.
Avorn told the Good Housekeeping Institute, "We don't know if the active component in
cranberries survives the extraction process, or, if it does, if it's present in an amount that
would help."

If your pharmacy does not offer sugar-free cranberry juice, they may be able to order it for your mom. You may also want to contact Novartis Medical Health, Inc. They have a toll-free number you can call: 800-247-7893, Mon-Sat 8-4:30 Central time. They manufacture a line of diabetic beverages and liquid foods. Or visit their website at www.boost.com

Try the health food section of your local grocery store - there's usually only one brand tucked in a corner. Health food stores should probably have it too. You can make your own by boiling cranberries and then pureeing them. Add your own sweetener

try a health food store. they should have unsweetened cranberry concentrate- you add water and sweetener if you like. but if she has an infection she should call her doctor. it is harder for diabetics to fight infections, she needs her doctor to decide if she needs antibiotics
