Hiya Simply_H!

There are no carbs in vodka and diet coke, so nothing to raise your BGs. The alcohol content keeps your liver busy, so it can't put sugar into your blood, so your BGs drop. It can be dangerous if you don't monitor and correct it properly e.g. eat some carb before bed, as alcohol can make your BG fall significantly 3 or 4 hours after you've drunk it. Monitor and correct.

Smidge is right, if I am going to be drinking quite a few vodkas I tend to alternate diet and full fat coke because otherwise I find that I'll end up hypo after not many drinks at all...not a great place to be

hypocrisy, prejudice and the corrupt legal system (never got compensation I deserved from an accident)
I have a few lagers on a saturday night out, then my carbs are provided by a 7" pizza for £3! Its a bargain although I do think as it's medicinal to keep my levels ok for the walk home I should be entitled to it on my free prescription card! Not the healthiest night out but as my doc said said life is precious enjoy it & it's only once a week.
