just a quick q&a on diet pop, for DM's
So a really quick question/note/observation
I've had to monitor my blood sugars a bit more carefully as I have a blood test (HBa1C) and a consultant checkup coming up soon
So I have a form I complete where I note my BG's at various times of the day.
So, on page one, though my sugars are ok, there are some higher numbers, on there.
I started a new page last week, and my sugars are decidedly lower on the 2nd sheet.
So I was trying to work out what had changed, then I realized, that on the second page, I hadn't been drinking Diet drinks. Which I usually neck down a couple a day. (I did have a thread on her about something similar)
So does this make sense ?
Funnily enough, I was so thirsty (some new pain meds for my back) I knecked back a full fat can of coke that my wife had, I was dreading check my BG this morning, and lo and behold, my fasting sugar was fecking awesome .
So interestingly enough, sweeteners mess up your BG's and full fat drinks don't ? (of course I'm not gonna drink 2-3 cans)
BUT I have noticed, when I drink 1 can of diet, I'm still craving another can. With the full fat can, I was fine..
TIA
appreciate any and all comments
