If you have it available, go by the carbohydrate listing on the label. Diet for a diabetic means zero, 0, (or near zero carbs). Carbs are sugar, just a little slower acting.

In general, never trust the word DIET. Often that means low/no fat, but extra carbs. That's indulgence, not diet for a diabetic.

Yes i think you are right. Whatever diet softdrink i tried always raised my sugar levels. Now i dont take any of those and sometimes its very frustrating. I used to drink coke all the time. I've been diagnosed just 2 years back.
