Soda is just addictive diabetes water.

Water is the ultimate sugar free drink. If you want different mouth feel you can do carbonated water. If you want caffeine you can do black coffee or tea.

If your ultimate goal is lower blood sugar levels the best solution is to stop consuming sugar and carbs. It will be difficult at first, but after the first week the cravings go away.

A helpful guide, if you only eat the green food, your blood sugar won't rise. The drink list here is: water, coffee, tea, bouillon, bone broth, kombucha. Fat lot of good food guide

If you get a continuous glucose monitor (GCM), you can see in real time how different foods impact your blood sugar. It can be a great tool and feedback loop to help you achieve your goals.
