“alteration of blood glucose and insulin”

Explains how my sister, a Diet Coke fanatic, got diabetes, while I, who stuck with regular Coke, did not.

Your sister probably consumed other carbohydrates in amounts too large for her pancreas to handle. As a general rule most adults over thirty should begin limiting their intake of carbohydrates. Diabetes is more than just an over consumption of sugars and starches. Other factors like genetics and physical conditioning also play a part.

I see a bunch of posters jumping to conclusions.

I don’t think Diet Coke uses Sucralose. It uses aspartame.

I can’t drink sugar sodas, they’re too sweet. I’ve taken the aspartame ones for decades with no problem.
