[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 303939, member: 19121"] Thankfully that is not true. Sugar has 100g carbs per 100g it is pure sugar. Splender has 97.7g carbs per 100g so is almost the same as pure sugar. And spoonful for spoonful Splender is as sweet as sugar. BUT: 1 level tablespoon of sugar = 5g carbs 1 level tablespoon of Splender = .5g carbs ie Sugar has 10 X the carbs of Splender. I just weighed a level spoonful of sugar, it weighed 19g. I tried to weigh a similar amount of Splender but it would not register on my digital scales. This is why Splender is better for diabetics than sugar, a spoonful of Splender in your tea will have zero effects on bg levels. The reason that bg is repressed when alcohol is drunk is that alcohol is a toxin which is removed from the blood by the liver, when the liver is full of alcohol it stops all other processes (regulating glucose) while it is removing the toxin. 1 unit of alcohol takes around 1 hour to be processed by the liver, ill leave you to work out the maths of removing the alcohol after a night out on the booze. However alcoholism is NOT a cure for diabetes, although a single glass of red wine has been shown to have some health benefits. As always all things in moderation would seem to be the key. [/QUOTE]
