In fact when I've walked into an appointment with a tall soda cup they've been quite relieved to find out it's diet soda. I just happened on the VMC website and found probable cause to be discouraged from this green light to consume diet drinks. I've been on insulin for approximately four of the thirteen years I've had the pleasure of owning this condition. Recently I received a referral to a nutritionist. Think I'll make the appointment call today. I have approximately 120 pounds I really need to get off of and now I'm seeing the diet soda as my possible enemy to that means. Thanks for the heads up.

Since then I've slipped and gained back about 15 of the lbs I originally lost. Similar to what you're saying, I've read that because diet sodas actually taste sweeter to us than regular drinks, our bodies react as if that much sugar needs to be metabolized. In particular I read that the pancreas has issues with artificial sweeteners, increasing your risk of getting Type II diabetes. Thanks for talking about this--I'll look into signing up.bugs2bugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692824414155583213noreply@blogger.com
