how many of you type two diabetics use to drink Pepsi regularly?

Question:

I was in a group meeting the other day and I noticed that 99% of the people diagnosed with type two diabetes use to be a heavy Pepsi drinker. From noon to night all we drank was Pepsi-not Coke-and now we have diabetes. I'm trying to do some personal research to figure out why we got it and what is causing the diabetic epidemic in America. And, if my theory is correct, then there is something in soft drinks that is making the risk of diabetes greater for today's society.
Please let me know if you fall into the religous soft drink drinker catagory. Oh it has to be regular, not diet. Thank you

Answers:
It's not the Pepsi that caused your Type II it the fact that you excessively drank sugary sodas and I can guess you also have poor eating habits and are obese. Obesity causes Type II not Pepsi. People who tend to drink an excessive amount of soda - whether it be Pepsi, rootbeer, coke etc. .. tend to have bad eating habits also - that is what causes it. Stop drinking any sodas and change your diet and your will get yourself back on track.

The Pepsi company is not responsible for you diabetes you are - take responsibility for yourself and treat your body better. I wish you all the best, diabetes can be hard to deal with.

The risk is greater because society is fatter and more indulgent. Society is also fattening up the kids by sticking them in front of the TV and video games with sodas and junk food. .. that is why diabetes is on the rise. Getting society ACTIVE is the way to fight the disease.

I was a regular Pepsi drinker for years, I too have type two diabetes. I was diagnosed Nov.2005, I am 52 years old. I would say that I probably drank regular Pespsi for at least 30years. I don't do any sodas at all now. I also ate a lot of high carb foods though.

I can't really say.Pepsi turns me into a crack baby, so I don't drink it. Especially now since I have type II diabetes!! :-o

i think a lot of diabetics use to drink regular pepsi because it is much sweeter than coke, and it tastes better. not only that, but it is everywhere. most restaurants and soda fountains, in convenience stores, carry pepsi. and when you're drinking 20-80 ounces of regular pop a day, and you're not an athlete burning it all off, then one might expect that a lot of people are going to become diabetic. these people are drinking all of this pop, in addition, to eating their meals.

I drank but not that much but maybe it could be in the pop

I am not sure but I wish you well on your reseach. The FDA approves a lot of bad stuff that the general public doesn't know about. Never use to drink diet drinks till I became a diabetic, now I find out it has Phenylalanine in them for sweetners. If anyone looks this up, it's called Sweet Poision. That shows how much the government is looking out for us. Now only pure water for me.

YOU OVERDOSED ON THE SUGAR IN IT!! HAVE YOU EVER READ THE SUGAR CONTENT ON THE CAN? AND NOT TO MENTION THE CARBS. IF YOU HAVE DIABETES, YOU SHOULD KNOW SUGAR, CARBS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE FOOD
