cola

Hi everyone. I'm totally new to this T2DM thing and am trying to formulate my meals and snacks etc... crazy amount if conflicting info out there. I'm aiming for a low carb diet but have a question about fizzy drinks. I know the usual suspects have aspartame which is no good at all for us, but...

I wanted to drink something good without caring about carbs. I tried Cola Zero and it doesn't do anything with my b/s level so far. But my dad sometimes tells me that it is rubbish and I should not drink it. What do you guys think about this?
