[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3123099, member: 42224"] I am not diabetic, but Grumpy is. My neurologist suggested I start a ketogenic diet and stop eating processed crap, which included by beloved Diet Coke and Russell Stover sugar-free mints. He suggested I test my blood glucose after drinking a Diet Coke or eating a mint and see what happened, but regardless of that, he really wanted me to stop that **** because he believes a lot of those chemicals seep through the blood/brain barrier and accelerate Alzheimer's and Parkinson's symptoms, and I've already developed essential tremors, so ... Sure enough, guess whose blood glucose levels went up. This girl's, that's whose. I don't know why but it did and I was fasting when I drank it so I can't blame it on anything else. The other really weird thing -- I did a cold turkey thing and didn't have any processed food for 2 weeks. Didn't drink anything but water, tea or coffee. No sugar or sweetners. Pretty strict keto -- no starchy vegetables, lots of fish, dark green vegetables, blah, blah, blah -- and then we went to Burger King on a whim. I took one swallow of a Diet Coke and very nearly puked. I dunno how I ever drank the stuff. Had to go pour it out and get some water. My fries?? Jesus Christ. Those things were the nastiest pieces of crap I have ever tasted. How do people eat that ****?? Good God. I'm ruined now. The SAD just won't do it. Poor Grumpy. He wants to go out for a burger and fries and I'm just not having any of it. Guess he needs to get a girlfriend to eat with or something. :anyone: [/QUOTE]
