Help please. could drinking pepsi max before a blood glucose test effect the results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can: Pepsi Max does not contain sugar. Pepsi Zero Sugar (previously known as Diet Pepsi Max & Pepsi Max is sweetened with aspartame. Diarrhea is a possible side effect of aspartame & Sucralose. REF: http://www.livestrong.com/article/450435-diet-soda-diarrhea/ However, some people have a release of insulin after ingesting these artificial sweeteners & this can lead to drop in blood sugar level.
