Diet drinks

Hi. Is it best to only drink water? Are diet drinks a no go area?!

I personally don't always like the after taste you get from some diet drinks!

From what I know, diet drinks are no different to the non diet, other than the sugar.
So, for those of use who recognise cola for the dreadful stuff it is, diet cola is a no go.

I personally do drink diet drinks & have no adverse effects. I think water is best, but personally, I don't really like water.

I drink diet drinks my fav ATM is Lilt zero I also drink lots of water and some coffee, not all at the same time though you could also try some diet squash.

Yeah, definitely leave out the probes, or that could be quite dangerous.😛

I don't like the after taste from diet drinks, I also find them far too sweet compared to the full fat ones. I will have a 'zero' or a 'max' sometimes, they're not as cloying and I don't have BG issues with them. I mostly stick to no sugar added squash or tea though.

Thank you everyone!

Whilst your BG is so high Caron - the idea is to help your body wash out the excess glucose - so plain water does a better job of this as there's nothing else for your body to have to process.

However - no harm in having a drink of something sugar free, or tea in between drinks of water - as a rest from it!

Must admit I'm a sucker for Pepsi Max. Water is obviously best for EVERYONE but drinking water all the time would get boring quick IMO!

I drink Robinsons squash when not drinking tea or water, not keen on fizzy drinks 😱 🙂
