Dont the artificial sweetners in diet coke etc spike blood sugar?0

Dont the artificial sweetners in diet coke etc spike blood sugar?
Since they don't convert to sugar in the body, the general answer is no. Some people (small minority) seem to find that the sweetness itself triggers a response from their brain that causes a sugar spike but that's easily discovered by testing with a blood glucose meter. Most people have no trouble with zero carb soft drinks.

Edited to add.. on the Low Carb Diet Support thread on the health & beauty board, I've posted up low carb menu options for Burger King, McDonald's, Little Chef, Wimpy and Pizza Hut. Still got Harvester, Beefeater, Nando's, Pizza Express, Zizzi, Cafe Rouge, Wetherspoon's etc to get through !0 -
