In the news articles on the main site there is a report that increasing the tax on sugary drinks in the US would decrease the number of people with Type 2 http://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2012/Jan ... 16702.html
As someone who doesn't drink tea or coffee, sweet sugary drinks were my drink of choice before diagnosis, at one point I was drinking about 8 litres a week.
Did this cause my diabetes? I'd say, probably yes.
Would having to pay more tax on the drinks made any difference to how many I drank? I'd say, probably no.
Anyone else have an addiction to sweet sugary drinks before diagnosis?
