Here, high intakes of sugar sweetened beverages were associated with higher all cause mortality, cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality, while intakes of coffee, tea, water and low fat milk were inversely associated with all cause mortality in adults with type 2 diabetes.

- In addition, greater increase in coffee consumption from before to after a diabetes diagnosis was associated with lower mortality.

- In estimating the associations of substituting beverages for each other, replacing sugar sweetened beverages with artificially sweetened beverages was associated with lower all cause and cardiovascular disease mortality.

In addition, replacing sugar sweetened beverages or artificially sweetened beverages with coffee, tea, low fat milk or plain water was associated with lower all cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality.
