Does drinking Diet Coke after an overnight fast, but before testing have much of an effect on BG?

I know there is no sugar in it as such, but there are quite a lot of odd chemicals.

Chemicals there are....however, no carbs, no sugars. I drink the stuff all the time as it has NO effect on my Bg levels at all. Test yourself to check it out, only way to see what it does or does not do to YOU !

I suppose it might make your feet drop off one day........ :wink:
 
I've seen the odd report that some of the diet sweeteners mimic sugar so closely that they fool the body into responding and just wondered.

I drink almost no caffeine, causes arrythmia plays havoc with my resting heart rate and my BP.

Doubtless, we all respond a little differently. I wonder if it was a different type of sweetener involved?

mark.
 
saying that, anything diet drink wise actually does make my bloods go up, i seem to be sensitive to the sweeteners :)
 
I think I read somewhere about the effect of caffeine on blood sugar i.e. making it rise? But can't remember the quantities involved!
 
heavens above, I do hope Diet coke doesn't affect my BG levels, I drink it by the case load! :lol: I love it, it's my one (major!) vice and I buy cases of the caffeine free variety from Costco :lol: Could be worse, I could be addicted to chocolate cake or cigarettes or anything else beginning with c :D :wink:
