Contrary to popular layperson's beliefs, patients with Diabetes can drink sugared beverages. The KEY is "in moderation", just like with ALL foods and beverages. A diabetic would need to figure in the sugars and carbs, and factor that into their daily counts. Many diabetic patients do switch to diet beverages, trying to cut sugar plus to lose weight. But a small amount of sugared beverages, in moderation, will not greatly affect intake counts. It's the same rule with white flour products (bread, donuts, buscuits, muffins) and desserts (candy bar, cake, cookie, pie)... diabetics CAN eat these AS LONG AS they figure the sugar and carbs into their overall daily allowance for each and be moderate in their consumption. Example: No one should consume 2 liters of Cola or Pepsi every day... or eat 6 candy bars every day. But a cup (4-6 ounces) of Pepsi a few times a week or a slice of pie once in a while is fine.

Anyone who tells a diabetic they cannot have something based only on a category of food or beverage is completely wrong. Again, it IS allowed --- but in moderation and as part of the overall daily allowances. Diabetics obviously should also routinely test their blood sugars.

HOWEVER, Colas are "addictive" because of the caffeine. So many people choose to stop drinking Coke and Pepsi because they find "one is never enough".

No. That drink still contains substantial amounts of corn syrup, which is a type of sugar.
