Even Artificially Sweetened Fizzy Drinks Increase The Risk

So corona was bought by beechams, and then sold to BritVic. The sole survivor from corona is Tango!
 
i'm trying fizzy water as a treat and aiming to out law diet no added squshe also - but the real battle is getting offf food and drink as comfort / reward...
 
Actually recent research seems to show that any artificial sweetner can trigger an insulin release in the same way as sugar or carbs, It is to do with the enzyme Amylase which is released into the saliva when a sweetner hits the tongue, It triggers the sweetness feeling like sugar, then hits the gut to say watch out theres carbs about, So it really is a case of empty calories.
Diet sodas push my readings up unless they are accompanying some food for the insulin to work on. Protein is better since it is slower to digest than carbs.
 
As's type 1, you do not have this problem as I and other type 1s are unable to produce insulin in any form.Thats why we are stunk with insulin injections. (excuse the pun,stunk)
