Go to http://www.1happydiabetic.com/ Can you tell the difference between sugar free drinks and regular drinks? I'll be the judge. My wife (non-diabetic) took the challenge too. Her video will be up soon

Was there any risk involved with you doing this?

[1HappyDiabetic]

@MissCandyK A small amount of risk. I tested my blood sugar and bolused for the crabs i drank. For a seasoned person with diabetes i was fine. I would've have done this if i was newly diagnosed.

[1HappyDiabetic]

Carbs...  lol. Not crabs.

I got a soda carbonator machine and you can instantly see the difference between the sugar and diet syrups. The sugar, or high fructose corn syrup, syrups are super super thicker than diet. Also sometimes in diet you can taste the salt like diet coke and sprite zero. salt is a sweetener at low levels. great vid!

Also how much insulin did you take for all that pop lol wish i could have regular pop again =\

[1HappyDiabetic]

I bolused for 22 Carbs during the challenge.

I think it's pretty easy to tell the difference, now that I've been a diabetic for 9yrs. Don't you hate when you order diet at a restaurant and they bring you regular? I can tell from the first sip.

o.o thats it i take 1 unit of insulin per 15 carbs
