I read online that diet drinks are not advised because of the side effects it can cause but how about coke zero?? My friend tells me that's the best non sugar drink you'll find??

'the best non sugar drink you'll find' is good old tap water, but coke zero is fine but don't drink too much as it rots your teeth due to the acidity.

I assume the straw pushes the liquid beyond the teeth, just a guess

I've been type 2 diabetic for ten years. The local tap water tastes like battery acid, and so I drink diet lemonade or ginger beer at the rate of about a two litre bottle a day. I've just had a full blood count done and everything is functioning beautifully. If there are any serious side effects, then they haven't affected me yet!

Our tap water is delicious, fortunately

Does caffeine affect bg levels?
