[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2401011, member: 41816"] Wow. Well, your doc is a mixed bag, aren't they? Some diabetics find that diet coke and other diet drinks are really unhelpful - they can cause raised blood glucose from the sweeteners, and increase the sugar cravings. You can drink as much tea as you like - just don't fill it with sugar. People on this forum sometimes switch to black tea and coffee, because there are a few carbs in milk. Or they swap the milk for cream. But if you are starting out, a little dab of milk in tea is going to be far less problematic than a big dollop, and you are already looking to cut out large amounts of carbs in other areas. Tea is a minor carb source, in comparison. Personally, I wouldn't want to drink all the Diet Coke chemicals, either. But people vary a lot in what they like and are willing to eat and drink. [/QUOTE]
