Is diet cranberry juice just as good? (I'm diabetic)

Cranberry juice also increases the acidity of urine, which is why it helps UTI's-- the acidity helps kill the bacteria causing the infection. Diet could be just as good--look for the % of cranberry juice in the beverage. The higher the % the better it will be. Unsweetened cranberry juice is unpalatable, so almost all beverages are diluted with either water or other fruit juices and sweetened. So, it's possible to find a juice drink that is high in concentration AND lower in sugar.

First of all it has vitamin C in it, and it also helps clean out your urinary tract. Its great to use if you think you have a urine infection. And, yes diet cranberry juice is just as good.

Cranberry juice is acidic and is usually recommended when you have a mild UTI. The acidity of the juice kills bacteria in your urinary tract.

I am diabetic too, and I have read that any artificial sweetener is about as bad for us as sugar, because the body still reacts like it is real sugar.
I do cranberry capsules for Urinary Tract health.
