Dear fellow type 1s,
I’ve noticed this before and today again! After drinking so-called ‘Sprite Zero’ i’m getting abnormal high glucose levels. I was around 10 mmol/l this evening after having dinner. Before I had been at the gym, so lower blood glucose were to be expected for the evening. But after having a small can of Sprite zero (25ml) my bg rose to 16 mmol/l ! I heavily suspect the sprite drink.
I had this before a while ago and sent an email to coca cola. But they only sent back a standard email telling me to call customer service in order to provide more information. (While i had already provided a lot of info such as batch, number place of purchase etc). So j didnt bother to follow up and just avoided the drink until today…
Did anyone experience this too after drinking Sprite Zero? In my case it were cans from the Netherlands. The standard. Sprite in the Netherlands is sold as ‘Sprite zero’ so officially there is no more sprite With sugar in our country. I know in other countries the standard sprite still contains sugar.
