Has anyone had issues with Stevia raising their BG levels? I'm pretty tightly controlled on 20-30g carbs daily but with friends coming for dinner tonight, I tried making a trial crumble using ground almonds, butter and stevia, and also used stevia to sweeten the rhubarb. I didn't find the taste successful, bit too artificial. But this morning my BG was 7.1 and I am usually between 5 and 6. It has taken all day to get down to 5.4.
I think I had a similar experience with Oppo ice cream which uses Stevia too. Thank you.
My understanding was that Stevia was one of the few sweeteners which didn't raise BG levels, so wonder if any one else has experienced this.
