Of the sugar alcohols maltitol is most likely to give a reaction this is often in low carb bars and sugar free sweets.  The artificial powdered/granulated ones are often mixed with maltodextrin or similar which gives a reaction to many. Can’t comment much on the other artificial ones bgl wise other than to say drops might be safer than granulated to avoid the dodgy bulking agents. There’s exceptions to all the generalities above so testing is the only way to know for sure for you.  Then there’s the taste aspect and the prolonging the sweet tooth aspect.</blockquote>
