[QUOTE="JenniferG, post: 1192969, member: 306119"] I've heard artificial sweetners, including stevia, once they hit the tongue, they activate a receptor which immediately tells the body to produce insulin to cover the perceived load of incoming sugar. This can result in hunger because the extra sugar never gets to the bloodstream, because we fooled our body. So then either you might eat more .. crave more carbs or your body under stress will output cortisol causing the liver to release extra glucose from the liver, to cover it. Maybe your body overdoes the cortisol and liver dumps more than needed to cover the insulin rise? Maybe your pancreas can't keep up with the amount the liver dumped due to the stevia intake? And then you end up with higher blood sugar? I suggest doing without any sweetners, artificial or not, and see if your blood sugars improve. I am curious. Please let me know. I'm about to give up on Stevia myself. [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900484/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
