[QUOTE="smidge, post: 326258, member: 29301"] Hi Alex! That's really interesting. I have often had the suspicion that diet Coke spikes my BG as I often end up higher than I expected when I have a can of diet Coke. When I have the diet Coke after a meal (and therefore inject for the meal) I seem to end up higher than normal, but when I drink the diet Coke on its own (i.e. no meal and no jab) I seem to be fine. I was wondering whether the sweetner was causing it, or perhaps the fact it makes me feel full (i.e. Bernstein's Chinese Takeaway theory) or whether I was just imagining it. I had never even considered the caffeine. I'll pay more attention now when i have diet Coke to try to track what my BGs are doing. I rarely drink coffee, but I do drink quite a bit of black Earl Grey tea and this doesn't have the same effect. Smidge [/QUOTE]
