[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2518993, member: 475037"] Just another note. I don't know how long you have been a diabetic and things can just affect different people differently. Malitol and a few other sweeteners actually have carbs, they mostly aren't digestible or they digest very slowly. Once they hit, they hit supposedly fast and they aren't as likely to bring up your blood sugar or they only do so for a short time. Erythritol has almost no carbs which is why it's the less likely to do so. Aspartame has almost no carbs too. But a type 1 can definitely react. You still need some insulin to deal with any small amount of carbs. And we don't have it. But some don't notice a spike, maybe the basal amount takes care enough of it since it's so low. I was taught I might have to dose for sugar alcohols. Something I just want you to be aware of, sometimes when things don't make sense it could be because you are a Type 1 instead. I'm not saying you are, I always just want people to be aware of the possibility. 35% of us are misdiagnosed as type 2's at first. When we develop Type 1 as adults, it can sometimes take 8 years to totally lose the ability to make insulin. Medication and diet changes work at first until they slowly don't. So if there are things that continue to not make sense, you could be a type 1 instead, just keep it in mind. [/QUOTE]
