I can assert that artificial sweeteners do not, in fact, affect insulin at all (at least for this n=1). After a Coke Zero, Diet Coke, or Ghost Energy, my blood sugar remains unaffected for hours (if no other calories are introduced).
Corn, however, in any form, fucks my shit up, blood glucose-wise. Way more than any other starch. No idea why.
Per this article, artificial sweeteners can create an insulin response in the body and can ultimately lead to some degree of insulin resistance. Though, they do state that more studies need to be performed.
What I mean is, a portion of corn or corn products causes a WAY HIGHER glucose spike with me, than does an equivalently sized portion (by weight or volume) of white rice, beans, milk, or even chocolate cake cake. I don’t know why.
Hahaha, what a bunch of morons, sugar isn’t even good for you!

Buncha dummies.
Artificial sugar still causes an insulin response. Better stick with the vinegared lead.
I wear a CGM (not diabetic, just a weird nerd).

As a T1 diabetic, artificial sweeteners don’t affect my blood sugar either. Caffeine does, though, unfortunately.

Are you eating sugar free corn ?
Huh? No, corn definitely has sugar in it.

I believe they were making a joke about sugar free corn
Oh I’m an idiot. Good night!
Lmao. We all do it eventually!
Maybe ease off the sugared lead a bit…
