Hi everyone,

Long time lurking, first time posting

My BG spikes like 80 more than normal for each can of coke zero I drink. I KNOW that all those sugar substitutes (except sugar alcohols) shouldn't affect BG at all because it's ignored by the body.

I'm thinking if my meter is mistaking those splenda as sugar? After all, they have very similar chemical strucuture.
I am using LifeScan OneTouch InDuo.
