All of the flavored syrups at Sonic have sugar. Even the "diet" cherry limeade. And remember, one serving is 8 oz (a small at Sonic is 14 oz), so you must multiply that by the size of your cup. The Calorie King app is the best I have found for fast food carbs.

15 and 16 year old kids preparing that food and serving it. I went to burger King years ago and got a whopper with a small diet coke. The coke tasted off, but drank anyway. Few minutes later my meter couldn't read that high and I spent the entire day lowering my sugar.

Yeah. It's a great little tool. I love it!

I agree, unless you know its diet for sure, it all up in the air. Sonic is one of those places where you have no idea what was put in that cup. I couldn’t tell you the last time I went to sonic. I prefer to get my own drinks, where I know it’s sugar free. 😎

Cherry lime aid is one of my guilty pleasures. Don’t get them often and when I do, get a small. It definitely will raise your sugar levels as does Coca Cola. Compensate with a little extra insulin.
