[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1174525, member: 93179"] Erythritol is one of the alternative sweeteners recommended and safest for diabetic use as it doesn't raise glucose levels and has very few or no side effects. Although it's very high in carbs these can't and don't get digested, so can't have any effect on our glucose levels. It can be found naturally in some fruits, and is one of a group of sugar alcohols/polyols all of which contain a very high percentage of indigestible carbs. However most of these other sugar alcohols can also have some quite unpleasant gastric side effects - wind, bloating and the "runs". I've used erythritol in combination with stevia for sweetening and in baking nearly two and a half years now , and it doesn't raise my glucose levels.
