Is diet coke bad for a diabetic?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Sugary liquids are not good choices for diabetics. Therefore, diet drinks are acceptable in diabetics.

Depends: depends if the diabetic likes caffeine, phosphoric acid and all the artificial sweeteners. The caffeine could upset the stomach and worsen reflux in a adult onset overweight diabetic. You would be better off with water infused with fresh ginger, or a leaf of mint. Healthier than the processed stuff.
