I had a errand in a nearby town this morning and on the way home I stopped at a "Road Ranger" station to buy a Diet Coke. It is one of those 'serve yourself' stations where you dispense the soft drink and then pay for it at the counter.
I took a few sips of my drink and it didn't taste right, so I dumped it and refilled it again - paying careful attention to push the DC button. After I dispensed the 2nd drink I walked to the counter to pay for it and because I was thirsty I took a few big swallows........oops!! Something didn't taste quite right - so I asked the clerk if possibly someone had switched the containers in the machine. The soft drink on either side of the diet coke were full sugar soft drinks. She looked quickly and said "No, it is diet coke".
Yeah right. Don't believe everything someone tells you. I tested the drink when I returned home and my One Touch meter gave me a "High Glucose" reading - so I dumped it in the sink.
I might have expected this to happen if I was in a restaurant, but I dispensed this one myself.
Now I'm sitting here with a 167 (9.3) and I'm just plain cross!!
