Hi,
My friend has type 1 diabetes and she always feels a little bummed out when we're having lunch at school and she can't have any of the sweets and cookies and things my friends are sharing, so I've been trying to come up with some kind of sweet thing I could make that doesn't have enough carbs for her to need to inject for it.
I'm wondering whether I could use stevia? The brand I have is Truvia, which has carbs, but all of them come from erythritol, which apparently has no effect on blood sugar.
From http://truvia.com/carbohydrates
"Erythritol passes through the body without being broken down for calories. As a result, it has no effect on blood sugar."
Has anyone on here with type 1 tried using stevia or Erythritol? Do you have to inject for it?
Thank you!
