Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Has anybody tried Dr. Pepper 10? Do you think it would be alright for diabetics?

I LOVE that drink. I have it as an occasional change from Diet Coke. It does have 3 grams of carbs per 12-oz. can, though, and I try not to make a habit out of drinking carbs. I'd much rather chew them!

I like dr pepper and I had it once and was good...low carbs and probably should not affect numbers....usually under 10 doesn't bother too much but don't drink bunches all day

I liked it so much I bought a 12 pack this morning. I'll still get Diet DP and Coke Zero, but DP 10 is a welcome addition. I drink only one soft drink a day so it shouldn't be a problem. The rest of the time I drink coffee, iced tea, Powerade Zero, and water.

For me, Foxysdad, only the water is safe..
Lemonade is oh so delicious, but all that sugar.......
Soft drinks are good for three things/people
dentists
morticians
cleaning glass
But some of us are more disiplined...I am not..,unfortuniately

I have not heard of this but my son and husband love Dr. Pepper, but do not like diet so I might get some for them to try.
I think as long as you keep your carbs low and are mainly drinking zero and no sugar you will be just fine.
Good luck
