Probably depends on how much of a drink you had. Sometimes I take drinks and it's half a cup. LOL. But just a sip shouldn't hurt. If it was big enough though it might cause a BS spike. I had a coke in december which messed me up completely. Best thing to do it make it a better day and hopefully you'll have no cravings from it.

I HATE this!!!
I realize that mistakes happen, but for some reason, this really bugs me.
I have read them the riot act before when it really got to me... "What if I was a diabetic????" Oh, wait; I AM a diabetic.
Well, anyway.
Such is life.
I doubt it will mess you up THAT bad -- as long as you STOPPED at one drink. That's the hard part for me. Sodas are my weakness so I try to avoid them entirely. :(

Summer, sometimes I am not sure they're really mistakes. Same thing happened to me in Starbucks. I cannopt take any ammount of caffeine, it raises my blood pressure horribly. Even though I repeated "decaf" two times and the guy at the register repeated it to the preparation girl twice too, I spent most of the night hoping that I wont have to go to the emergency room because my coffee was - you guesed it - caffinated. These people just don't care.

Stacy, considering that one can of soda is 39 carbs, one sip of soda with ice should not have much of an effect. Try to stay away from sodas as much as possible, though... I know it's hard.... But if you miss carbonation, try mineral water, it's carb-free and, well, healthier. More water and tea a day might also help.

Thanks guys I am laughing now at what I am about to tell you. Some peolpe smoke, some people eat, others run, and some chew gum. Me I drink soda and I have limited myself to 2 a day and thats al I am willing to go down to. Lol. Thats another reason why I was angry cause I wanted my soda right now. Plus its like the people serving are purposely being jerks. Like you order a LOW CARB burger and then they turn around and ask you do you want fries. You know my normal responce would be YYYYYEEESSSS and go large. But I stop, give them this dumb look and say no it against my religeon.

Stacy:
I had something similar happen at Sizzler. I was drinking regular iced tea. The waitress refilled it with Raspberry sweetened iced tea. I took a big gulp before I realized what it was. I was nice about it when I asked her to dump it and give me the regular stuff...but I was really ticked when she told me that it happened because I took the long spoon out of the glass. (that's what tells the waitress if it's sweetened or unsweetened.) Thankfully, I don't have diabetes. But so many people do...and a mistake like that is like asking for a lawsuit. Can you imagine their defense: "But your honor, the customer should have known better than to remove the long-handled spoon from the glass."

Dahlia, I also have trouble with caffeine. It gives me horrible heart palpitations. I'm OK with a small Coke, or even a medium if I don't have a refill. But a cup of coffee would put me over the edge. I'd be furious if I got regular when I asked for decaf.

Laurenmommy....They did that to me once but it was a regular drink instead of the diet one i ordered.
I just love those low carb burgers, do you all? But always order the single one and not the double one because it is to much. I did that once and could not eat it all, way to much food.............

wish Mcdonalds would make a low carb burger like Hardee's does. All our wal marts here have mcdonalds in them so when i want to sit down and get somethign to eat there is nothing there, they don't even carry the salads there like they do in their other places..Always wondered why so one day i asked and the lady told me its because they don't have refrigation for them, DAA.............DON'T THEY KEEP THE OTHER FOODS IN THE FRIDGE!

Well lets take a poll here,WHO LIKES THE Hardee's low carb burgers?
I do................

Stacy - Things like that surely will make you mad. I have a type 1 diabetic sister and when they do that sort of thing to her it wreaks havoc.

"but I was really ticked when she told me that it happened because I took the long spoon out of the glass. (that's what tells the waitress if it's sweetened or unsweetened."

Yes they can tell who drinks it unsweetened - The ones with the long spoon sticking out of their eye. jeez.

I love Hardee low carb burger and you're right I can't eat the double. Its so funny to before I was health conscious I sure would eat a double whopper with a quickness. Weird huh.

To comabt the problem I'm just going to be a major pain the next time something like that happens. I'll ensure that they will make my drink a diet one even if I have to remind them four times.
