No one should be drinking diet drinks or using artificial sweeteners

I fail to understand why people keep saying this.

The body of evidence suggests this simply isn't so.

I'm not sure what "body of evidence" you are referring to... But these ARTIFICIAL products are not what nature intended for our bodies to digest. But go ahead and have at it, if you so choose.

steroids always will drive blood glucose levels up. I have been a diabetic since 1979. no major problems, sugar was good from 1979 until 1989, and have been bad at getting it back under control.

a good doctor is hard to find, I have gone through a bunch of them. I was in a dr's office, not going to say where, but when I left the office and checked, my Blood glucose was 35... went back in, told them they all missed it and never went back. Diabetes is tough... I know the bad that can happen. I thank my wife for keeping me going/visiting dr's, but it is hard for me to control. Yes you have to count carbs, watch drinks, etc, but it is hard. In my profession, I do not know what I am doing 5 minutes, let alone 2 hours from when I take or adjust my insulin levels.

Hang in there.

I am a lot better tonight and you all told me more then my docter.thanks

Steroids will OPTIMIZE the transfer of proteins and carbohydrates in your system. If they are not in your system, the steroids will make you unbearably hungry. Be careful

Any kind of steroid will run your blood sugar way up. If you're taking Prednisone then that is whats doing it, not diet drinks.

My husband is diabetic and when he had bronchitis a few years the prednisone made it go up. They did tell him ahead of time so he could adjust his insulin. Hope you're feeling better!

You might try using some Texas Pete on your food every day. Heard about a guy who was controlling his diabetes with that. Also stop being a glutton when you eat so you don't gain so much weight. Get off those 'diet' drinks. You may be addicted to them by now.

Hairy,I could care less about your spelling or grammar. Your health comes first,watch your carb intake to help control your sugar. #'s look much improved today,keep up the good work on controlling those #'s. Carb control is what my wife's doctor tells her!

Got up this moring it was 245 I took 2 Metformin and lay back down got up later it was 129 .well I was talking to a woman and the prednisone is what done this but I cant see as good as I use took but I am going drink more water and eat better My sugars stay around 200 which is to high .I am about blind in my left eye but my right one use be 20 /20 but not anymore .they lot people out there that has this stuff.and some of them are kids .I no I need go back to school about my spelling and writing I am working on that to.thanks

Beeblebrox42, sadly people are misinformed, they believe everything they read on facebook.

I am curious about the HgA1C level. Getting to your endocrinologist or family physician is first and foremost.

"I was watching tv every thing went black like 3 are 4 times this has happen to me other nights"...that should of scared you enough the first time,that you would of made drastic changes in your diet.
i'm diabetic as well and i've got it pretty well controlled.
i know it can be tough but you're gonna have to suck it up and get with the program,can't nobody do it but you.
you think low blood sugar makes you sick now.
imaging how sick will it make you being blind with low blood sugar

Too much bread, potatoes, pasta, rice. Your sugar is way too high. Get to a doctor or the ER now!
