TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

So I'm still figuring out what I can and can't eat. I love cokes, so I'm thinking of switching to coke zeros. Does the fake sugar mess with your blood sugar too much? Anybody have any personal experience?

the fake sugar (splenda/equal/etc) does not mess with mine. love diet pepsi more than coke zero. but coke zero tastes better than diet coke to me.

Haha, I'm the opposite... In order, I choose Diet Coke, Coke Zero, then Diet Pepsi. Diet Pepsi used to give me crazy heartburn. That hasn't been the case for a while now (knock on wood), but drinking it reminds me of heart burn, and I don't think it tastes as good as Diet Coke anyway.

I don't really understand Coke Zero though. I don't like regular Coke, so as a diet beverage connoisseur, I would never want a diet soda that supposedly tastes like the very thing I want to avoid. Hubby says it tastes like... well, I won't say, but not like regular Coke.

I'll choose Fresca over them all any day though :)

Oh, and I drink embarrassing amounts of diet soda - no BG effect at all.

Fresca has been diet forever. When I was a little kid the only sugar-free pops around were Tab and Fresca. And then something called Bubble Up.

Fresca in Bolivia has sugar! You should have seen my (non-diabetic) husband´s face when he first tried a Fresca in the States, not realizing it did not have sugar!

Fresca is the king of sodas!

I don't like the standard Diet Coke but love Coke Zero. And, Cherry Coke Zero. It has a nice "bite" to it. No, it does nothing to my blood sugar.

Kathy-

I didn't know there was a Cherry Coke Zero!!! I don't care for Coke to strong but if it has a little flavor...it's worth giving it a try.

I am w/ Landileigh...Diet Pepsi comes before Diet coke...
