Minute Maid was awesome back in the 80s. Their fruit punch was the goat.
Welch's made a fruit punch soda that was next fucking level for me.

Well, I mean it's not going to kill a diabetic if they consume sugar they weren't anticipating.. sure it might spike their levels higher than anticipated, but it would only cause harm long term if they didn't monitor .

FYI there is no such thing as truly "zero calorie". Sure, we can't use aspartame and those "0 calorie" sweeteners for energy BUT our gut microbes can metabolize those compounds into products that we can then use for energy. So one way or another you're still taking in calories. Now do you gain more energy from straight sugar vs the sweeteners? I have no idea, I haven't studied this in years. I just like to bring up that little bit of trivia whenever anyone brings up zero calorie drinks in conversation :)
That's a hard to believe claim. Do you have a source for it?
ya I did a lit review for my thesis a few years back, plenty of papers on microbes metabolizing these compounds, shouldn't be hard to find.
Hah, love this. Never change buddy. You're the best :-).

Whew good thing I drink diet Dr Pepper!
I thought the main danger to diabetics was not having sugar after taking insulin.
Blood sugar can be too high as well.
I’m not 100%, but I’m pretty sure the issue is with restricted ability to use / produce insulin to regulate blood sugar thus leading to dangerously high levels.
That's only a danger if they take too much insulin. Insulin is used by the body to make the cells absorb sugar.
Too high or too low can be dangerous, and there's different varieties of diabetes that make one or both swings more likely/dangerous.
