Drinking soft drinks regularly can definitely increase your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. One can of soda contains a massive amount of free sugar which causes sudden spikes in your blood glucose and puts pressure on your pancreas to release insulin. Over time, this can lead to insulin resistance. Try replacing them with unsweetened drinks or plain water.

Bro, yes, they absolutely do if you drink them daily. I used to have a cold drink with every meal during my college days and my HbA1c test came back borderline pre-diabetic at just 22. My doctor told me to stop cold turkey, and thankfully my levels came back to normal. Save yourself the trouble and cut down now.

Well, they don't call it liquid sugar for nothing! If you are drinking them like water, then your blood sugar levels are definitely going to dance. Having a glass once in a blue moon won't make you diabetic overnight, but don't make it your default thanda drink.

I've been drinking a lot of canned juices and sodas lately and lately I feel extremely thirsty all the time. Is anyone else experiencing this after having too many soft drinks? I am really worried that I might be getting diabetic and I am planning to get my sugar levels tested this weekend.

These bottled drinks are filled with chemical sugar which is very harmful for the pancreas. It is much better to drink home-made chaas or kokum sharbat with very little jaggery. However, if you are already experiencing symptoms like frequent urination or sudden fatigue, please go and get a proper blood test done by a doctor instead of trying home remedies.
