@C_Miller I didn’t find avoiding sweetened drinks and food problematic at all when I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. Avoiding carbohydrates like e.g. bread, pasta and pizza is way more difficult. My dietician told me to avoid any sugar alcohol sweeteners (those ending in ol). Aspartame gives me joint pain which pretty much leaves stevia. I simply decided to avoid any sweet stuff and I really don’t miss it.

@grumpyoldtechie Yeah, I limit myself to 50g carbs per day. The occasional diet fizzy drink doesn't seem to spike blood sugar, but understand that it can in others. Sparkling water is probably the better way forward!
