I have a sweet tooth. There's no two ways about it and I like a sweet cup of tea. However, I find that using artificial sweeteners raise my blood sugar by quite a bit. For example, after a single cup of tea my blood can go from a reading of 5-7 to 18+
I've been T1 for 20+ years so you'd have thought I'd have the hang of it by now, but I can't work out how much insulin to take with a 2 sweetener tablet cup of tea, or even if I should since it's supposed to be sugar free!
Does this happen to you? How do you manage it?
Anyone know why it happens?
