If you drink pop and your not in hypo than its a diet pop so I was wondering what does everyone prefer; Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi??
DIET COKE 4 ME!! I love it!!
Diet Pepsi.....if Diet Dr. Pepper isn't available....I think Diet Coke tastes flat. Diet Pepsi seems to have a little more zing??!!
I like Diet Pepsi but I really prefer Fresca!!! Yummy and refreshing... I have heard though that we should lay off the artificial sweetners...have you heard any of that?
Yes....what is a diabetic to do though? I love my diet soda!!??
when i can, i prefer diet pepsi, but i don't discriminate too much :o) i've switched to caffeine free sodas so i don't get all revved up at work then crash when i get home. thankfully, the switch was easy, and i didn't have any side effects. i don't really think i needed the caffeine anyway... it was all in my head :o)
if they are my ONLY choices: diet pepsi. (i honestly hate both. i've had so much diet pepsi/coke in my life that i now have to have to water it down in order to drink it)
if i have a choice:
1. Sprite Zero (since i use it with my gin)
2. Diet Rootbeer, Diet Orange Crush, Diet Cream Soda or Diet Grape Soda as they have splenda instead of aspertane. (i can't remember who makes it, but it's all the same company)
3. Diet Dr. Pepper
Diet Coca Cola.
I like the looks of the Coke can over the Pepsi can.

Did you notice diet orange crush still has carbs in it? I didnt until after Ri drank a bottle and looked at it lol.
Diet Coke Caffeine Free. I don't know why, but I just like the way it tastes.

i think there are a few different companies that make it. i never noticed any carbs(or carbs worth noting) on any of the diet orange crush/cream soda/grape/rootbeer.
a lot of diet drinks still have carbs, but they are so small(2 or 3g per can) that it doesn't really matter as long as you aren't drinking more than two in one sitting(which is bad for you regardless of carb intake)
i noticed that after i drank a bottle of it and was like way high later! it should like warn people on the front of the bottle cause when it says diet most people think no carbs
Pepsi for me, but I also like Sprite Zero and Diet Dr Pepper.
I don't care what anyone says about the horrors of artificial sweeteners -- there are so many things I'm not supposed to have in life that I'm not giving up my diet soda! (: (:
diet coke is my number 1 choice!!! Diet Dr pepper #2
When I was first diagnosed, it was Diet Coke since that was in the pop machine at work. Now I buy Diet Pepsi, Diet Squirt, or my favorite, Diet Sun Drop.
If my only choices are "regular" diet sodas, I like Coke Zero and Sprite Zero.
If I'm at home, I'm pretty hooked on Zevia Ginger Ale and Orange Soda. It's all natural, and made with erythritol, which is a type of sugar alcohol that doesn't have the gastric side effects that other sugar alcohols have. It's a little more expensive, but it agrees with me. :) Here's some info from Wikipedia on it, if you haven't heard about it (I hadn't, until I started drinking this stuff): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythritol
I agree with Sarah......pretty much everything that goes into your mouth, there's something that's bad for you....about what Kim said....I cannot even stand to drink Coke Zero or Sprite Zero because they taste soooo sweet!!! They taste too much like regular soda to me. That's funny.....if it's not diet, it doesn't taste right! I can barely stand drinking a regular soda if I am low....it's disgusting!!
I agree on that - regular soda tastes gross to me. But, for some reason, the "zero" sodas taste good. Makes no sense, right?
