Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Lissi: It depends upon how much the regular stuff drives up your bG readings.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Yes, Lissie Drinking regular pop is deadly for keeping those blood sugars. It is pure sugar-over 150 calories in non-useful sugar and it raise your blood sugar at least 100 points, which as a type 2 diabetic takes days to get down. The only way ;you can tell what it does to you is to do a blood sugar 2 hours after drinking it. I know a lot of people who hated die pop, but after slowly converting to it, found thtat the regular poptasted too sweet. Soda is not really good for anyone; not only diabetics, but also non-diabetics as it hs lots of potassium. Re: question, bad situation Dear Shane and Everyone, I no doubt missed something in trying to catch up with this list, but it seems you said that you drank pop after not having any for 2 years and that meant you had blown it. I'm concerned for you, but I only lasted for 2 months before drinking a regular cola. Were you saying that the one soda did harm? I ask because I love regular pop and hate the diet kind, even the diet with splenda. I have given in and drank some cans of pop, even substituting it for a meal because I missed it so terribly. I'm a type 2 diabetic. Am I doing serious harm giving in to my longing for the pop I miss so much?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Have a small serving now and then, making sure to substitute carbs properly. Personally, I cann live perfectly happy without soda. I may drink one a month. But, I have a brother-in-law who wakes up in the morning and drinks them all day long. Anyway, moderation and balance are very important key words. I don't agree that your bg will be affected for a long period of time, but I have no scientific data to prove it. Soda is mostly sugar, and is pretty much in and out of your system within hours. Perhaps you can plan on enjoying some soda in the middle of a time of activity such as a hike or other physical routine where the soda will probably be burnt up and you may not be any the worse for having quenched your thirst.
