[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2175463, member: 25851"] I've always had a problem with sweeteners - even tiny amounts and long years before I was diagnosed as T2. Even a small amount on the end of my finger can make me ill for days, as was confirmed when my daughter-in-law bought a packet of "Stevia" on the mainland and brought it home for me. We both had a finger tip dip and we were both ill. Even ordinary sugar (sucrose) doesn't make me ill in a noticeable way. Not that I take it very often, except in medicines (can't take the normal "sugar free" ones, so have to make do with those containing sucrose or lactose). I'm afraid I'm not smart enough to understand the chemistry, which is why I find this whole issue so difficult but I do understand the results of anything ingested containing "sweetener". So I take care not to buy any such product, which is becoming more difficult all the time, especially now that my eyesight is also shot! Edited to correct a typo. [/QUOTE]
