Question 1

is coke zero alright if you have type 2 diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Kind of...: With diabetes you should definitely avoid sugary beverages but be careful of beverages with artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners may increase your hunger craving, making blood sugar control all the more difficult, so it may be best to avoid soda in general. Naturally flavored carbonated (seltzer) water would give you the satisfaction soda provides without the artificial additives.
