Answer 1

There are no carbohydrates in Coke Zero. It is made with Sucralose which is the generic name of Splenda. If there's no listing for carbohydrates it's because there are no carbohydrates, sugar is a carb. When reading the nutrition facts on the label it will list the total number of carbohydrates and then break it down the types. Sugar alcohols have less of an effect on glucose levels so most people count half of them when counting carbs. Fiber has no effect on glucose levels because it can't be digested so if counting you can subtract those. The rest is usually listed as sugar or other carbohydrates and they're the ones that will raise you glucose levels. There's no need to read ingredients to find out if there are carbs in something, it will be listed in the chart. If you however want to know what ingredient is contributing to the count, then by all means, read on. Most diet cola's will be carb free and calorie free. I personally think Coke Zero tastes better than any other diet cola I've tried so far.

Answer 4

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 5

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

Answer 6

Yes your right. The recommended amount of coke a person with diabetes should consume is; ZERO. Seriously though, it should be fine since it doesn't contain sugar. My niece is diabetic and drinks Sprite Zero all the time, so I assmue Coke Zero uses the same sugar substitute.

Answer 7

You can drink any of the 'diet' drinks that contain a sugar substitute. My mother has diabetes and contracted Ketosis this year (she's been diabetic for 13 years). so we need to re-valuate her diet and were advised by an endocrinologist that as long as drinks don't contain sugar, then it is okay to consume as this will not affect your blood sugar levels. It must not contain any real sugar though! In addition to which, you should try and drink other beverages that actually contain some nutrients such as tea, decaffeinated coffee, and mineral water. Stick with low-GI foods and avoid processed foods. Keep the fat level down too.

Answer 8

Call your doctor and ask to be referred to a health educator or nutritionist. You need to figure your daily allowance of carbs as prescribed by your doctor. The American Diabetes Association is a great resource to research this. Also Harvard School of Medicine has the Joslin Center, an excellent organization for researching and treating diabetes. Here are some links to patient education on both sites.

i am a diabetic and do not drink coke zero I'm also a coke lover and when i took it 33 years ago the only thing to drink was tab that was really bad but try drinking diet coke it is almost like the real thing

Answer 10

I don't drink Coke Zero, but look at the ingredients. Anything that ends in "ose" (such as fructose) is basically sugar. Also look for High Fructose Corn Syrp (HFCS) which is super bad for you whether you are diabetic or not. Where the label lists info like the USRDA of calories, etc. what does it say about grams of carbs and grams of sugar? This question is really something you should be asking your doctor or his/her nurse. If there is a local nurse phone hotline in your area, I suggest you call it.
