Avatar m tn According to my doctor, both, pre-diabetes and type II diabetes are reversed if you can maintain normal blood glucose levels, via diet and exercise, without medication.
Avatar n tn is pepsi ok to drink as i am new to this i have type 2 .
Avatar f tn Diet and decaf are the worse no matter if you're pregnant or not. I like fizzy drinks so it doesn't have to be soda. Maybe find a different alternative?
Avatar f tn Thanks. I just wanted one diet root beer because I am dying for root beer lol.
Avatar f tn Ok, so I cut regular soda out of my diet. I normally drink water, diet can iced tea (or fresh) and seltzer. Now my question is.... is diet soda OK in moderation? Like when me and my bf go to a mall, water gets so boring and the fast food places generally never have seltzer water. So therefore I'm forced with diet soda (YUCK). Is it ok just on the weekends? I mean I guess I'm doing something right, I've lost 30.5bs since 9/14 (not even 3 months yet) and still have another 12.
1536593 tn?1292557199 I get severe head aches when I drink Diet Soda, off brand or not, could it be an intolerance to the artificial sweetener or an allergy?
Avatar f tn What is everyone's thoughts on drinking diet soda? I know they say to stay away from artificial sugars, but I've been drinking diet soda forever & I'm having a hard time giving it up. Is one a day bad?
872485 tn?1240603562 Not too much sugar, like soda, juices, etc. Diet soda is suppose to a better choice. You can have desserts, but in moderation. Also, try boneless, skinless chicken breasts if you like chicken , salmon, fish ( not fried too often) I use my pressure cooker for almost everything. When you go back to the doctor you should have a much lower A1c level, Also I purchase those 100 calorie snacks. I also love the crystal light drinks. It has 0 calories, 0 carbs and no sugar.
Avatar f tn I was throwing up and had the chills and shakes for two days after doing mine... but I passed and I also ate before mine bc I wasn't expecting to get it bc it was an emergency appointment. I had the flat sprite one... it was nasty after three gulps.
Avatar f tn It's just to make sure you don't have gestational diabetes! No big deal! You'll want to go in the morning because you can't eat or drink anything 2 hours prior to them taking your blood. When you go in they will have you drink this orange drink that's basically like flat orange soda then you'll have to wait one hour before they will draw your blood. I would suggest not eating a lot of sugary stuff that day before you go in because it might effect your test results!
878888 tn?1319634044 So nurse calls me back and tells me to keep taking synthroid and doctor strongly recommend I do the low blood sugar diet and lose weight as levels were slightly high. Only problem is they didnt say which low blood sugar diet or give me any info. Argh. And I have been trying to lose weight but thyroid does not help. oh well, just venting I guess, will figure it out.Anyone else have problems with sugar level and thyroid?
Avatar f tn I had diabetes on my 3 pregnecies.. But they were all diet controlled... Avoid eating junk food Starbucks... Soda...basically all the things that u might want...eating smaller portions of food nd healthy foods.. U will be fine.....
Avatar f tn I wouldn't drink any. Soda and diet soda is bad for you whether you are pregnant or not.
3252948 tn?1359923842 The next time it was 7.3 and I did the test at home and it is now 6.4; I have had to change my diet drastically to get my A1c down to 6.4; watch my carbs, no junk foods, no soda and I now rarely eat red meat. Been eating lots of fish, salads and some fruit and nuts, but it has been tough getting used to this new diet plan, and I will have to do this for the rest of my life if I want to stay off of meds.
Avatar f tn it was even suggested to me to drink a carbonated drink during my 3-day high carb diet before my 3-hour glucose test.. 1 a day is okay.. some say avoid the caffeine, some say 200 mg a day is okay, etc. I drink soda every now & then, I still still coffee, so it all just depends on you & your baby.. your medical condition, etc.
Avatar f tn If it is not diet soda, that is one heck of a sugar load. I think it is the equivalent to 12 teaspoons of sugar in a 12-ounce can. And unfortunately, if it is diet soda, it is loaded with chemicals. Hate to say it because the sugar gives you a higher diabetes risk and a higher risk that your child will later on develop diabetes, and the chemicals are just nasty for you. Can you taper off by cutting the soda in half with sparkling water?
Avatar f tn I have that also and a cervix shorten N bed rest
Avatar f tn And yeah dont drink any juice or soda or anything else sugary and start a low carb diet to help prevent getting it.
Avatar n tn I also started for several years having an ichy/red rash right above the ankle. I would also drink diet soda/morning/afternoon and night with every meal. Not alot of water. I have been drinking tea with no sugar and lots of water for a couple of years . It's a decision i made voluntary. Blood sugar is okay and rash after suffering with the itching and ugly rash on my leg. the rash has disappeard. I no longer has that awful itching on my leg/s either.
Avatar n tn When I was originally placed on Metformin for PCOS and metabolic syndrome 3 yrs ago my blood sugar level was 110 with at least half of my diet consisting of chocolate and soda. So it is very frustrating that I am working so hard on this diet and still having high sugar levels. Last week I was craving chocolate so bad....so I had a hershey bar and a REAl coke...it tasted great but 3 hours later my blood sugar was around 250. I have a dr appt next week but am curios as to what they will say.
Avatar f tn No its definitly the asparteme that is bad, but thats the reason you should never drink diet soda. Asparteme is pure poison. Just do your research on it. Also watch out for pedialite for babies they started putting that crap in there too. Your much better off with a sugary soda then that stuff. You want to take it easy on the caffeine too, but I would definitly worry more about the asparteme then anything.
