Dislikes
Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.
I personally don't bother, one contains sugar which will leave me very poorly unless hypo-ing and the other contains artificial sweeteners which also have the potential to cause damage to my body (although much is speculation, no smoke without fire..)

I got into an argument once with a waitress at an upmarket steak restaurant in London. Ordered the usual diet coke, got given the full fat kind (confirmed luckily by my husband) and when I asked if she could swap it for diet she then decided to give me a weird lecture about how diet coke has more sugar in it than full fat. She was adamant this was the case no matter what evidence I could give to disprove her!! English wasn't her first language so I'm hoping she just got mixed up with the meanings, still not sure why she would rather argue with a diabetic than just go and swap the drink!

I don't go to pubs or clubs, but if I did, it would only be a bottle of diet coke/pepsi ( but still would rather have a nice cup of tea) :D

I've never heard of putting strip into liquid, does it work with food? How do you test food?

I do not have diabetes
I can't tell the difference between them. My metre reads 33 control test for red coke and error for diet.
Supprisingly it only read 4 for hot chocolate but sent my bloods soaring

Heavy cold? Check.
Loss of taste? Check
Ordered a pint ofdiet coke? Check
Didn't notice it was full fat due to earlier issues? Check
Drank it all? Check.

Feeling a bit **** now with a spike that's got a hell of an upwards velocity? Oh yes.

Stuck the Novorapid in intramuscular to try and speed up the action.

Drinking coke when you don't have a hypo. Not recommended.
That's Not good, I won't have coke where they have a tap that includes 6 other drinks, insist on a bottle
