Has anyone else had this issue?

NAS79335

I noticed when I drink diet sodas (very specifically diet pepsi, its not as bad with diet coke and I have never had a diet dr. Pepper) my blood sugar just....tanks. like it'll be chillin in the 90s and suddenly within half an hour of drinking the diet pepsi my blood sugar is in the low 80s or sometimes high 70s.

It should be the opposite, right? Like even with the whole no 'real' sugar thing/no calories/etc it still has stuff that would probably raise the blood sugar a little bit, wouldn't it?

Am I just imagining things? Has anyone else had this experience with diet sodas?? I only got diagnosed in January so I'm still new to what will or won't effect my levels, sorry if its a silly question.

  • how are you measuring your blood sugar, diabetic? or just curious about your levels i wouldn't have a clue i find that if i want a cracking sleep its either redbull or lucozade its like knockout juice as for diet though the only thing i notice is the taste of caffeine is so acidic proper tang to the taste not nice. hope my nonsense rambling helped
