Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.

It would be nice if they talked about the mechanism, however.
And remember http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation
It would be nice if they stated what the risk level was that was being increased by 50% as well.
All in all it looks like another Daily Wail scare story.
Enjoy your breakfast

P.S. if you already have diabetes then there is presumably no longer a risk of developing it so you can eat as much as you like.
Just two rashers of bacon a day can increase the risk of diabetes by more than 50 per cent, scientists claim.
Eating a single sausage, small burger or a few slices of salami every day drastically raises the chances of developing the illness.
Research has found that just 100g of red meat every day – or half a normal size steak – increases the likelihood of type 2 diabetes by a fifth..........

Correlation does not imply causation" (related to "ignoring a common cause" and questionable cause) is a phrase used in science and statistics to emphasize that correlation between two variables does not automatically imply that one causes the other
