But why soda? Even more if you are under a medication that diverts sugars directly to urine, being a diabetic. Can I risk it is out of habit or for the taste?

Wouldn't reducing the sugar intake cut the need for that medication, by simply drinking plain water, and have a mineral supplement to cover the eventual excessive loss due to higher urination/sudation?

I only drink diet soda, so it's not impacting my sugar. I've tried drinking water, but I need some kind of flavor, and seltzer just tastes hitter and gross to me.

Let me just add artificial sweetners can provoke bloating to some individuals; I'm one of those.

I can relate with feeling an electrolyte drop when drinking too much water in one go; it's as if water starts to taste, for lack of a better word, wrong, regardless how thirsty one feels.

If it is not causing you any adverse effect, good.
