  If you are a person with T1D, how often do you drink diet soda?
  I drink several diet cokes (typically a store brand) per day. Doesn't impact my blood sugars. I am sure the artificial sweeteners aren't good for you but I avoid so many foods/drinks because of the impact to my blood sugars that I figure I'm allowed one unhealthy addiction!! :-)

  I used to drink diet soda EVERY day -- and I finally quit many years ago. Within a few months after quitting, my tastebuds finally realized it tastes like pure chemicals. Bleh. Now I can't stand the taste of any fake chemical sugars.

  I no longer drink diet sodas thought I used to love Dr Pepper! I just grew tired of them and started to prefer to drink water when I began hiking with a local group. Now I drink tons of water every day, though not from the tap since ours tastes yucky!

  I never drink any kind of soda, diet or regular. On occasion, if I am having leg or foot cramps at night I will have some diet tonic. It helps! This was recommended to me by my podiatrist.

  I used to drink diet all the time but have been reducing the amount. I know it’s bad, formaldehyde, for me and the taste has been off. The sparkling waters have been tasting better lately.

  I love Diet Coke. There are so many foods I stay away from because of how it affects my BG. And it’s my only vice!

  I drink a lot of various flavors of Sparkling Ice. No sugar and no artificial sweeteners; tiny amounts of fruit juice.
