I used to drink soda religiously and in copious amounts, but sometime a few years ago I decided to stop. Maybe it was because I had cavities that made drinking soda painful, or maybe because I had a desire to loose weight, I dunno. But now, I rarely drink soda. I thought I would miss it, and thought it would be impossible to quit. But, honestly, it's not really I need in my life. It's just a thing.
I can't really imagine what you will need to go through in order to curb your sweet tooth. I think I ingest more sugary food than actual food with substance, and to give that up completely would seem like taking away everything that is good in life. lol. But you know... you'll find substitutes. It may not be as great as what you're used to, but it'll be something at least.
If you can't do it for yourself, think of it as doing it for the child that you want to have someday. What you do today to help your diabetes will give you the opportunity to have a child in the future. :)
