[QUOTE="BrianSkye, post: 1873534, member: 29125"] I don't want this post to start a manic thread about artificial sweetener conspiracy theories but I have a problem that I am desperately trying to solve. In addition to my imperfectly controlled T2 I also have serious spinal problems and arthritic problems that pre-date it and are probably responsible for a whole host of symptoms and disabilities I'm suffering from. However, against that background recently I have started to feel really lousy all the time, weak and with new, generalised pain. In particular I start my day with a whole wheat cereal very liberally sweetened with splenda. very shortly following this I am experiencing strong palpitations, I can see my vision pulsing with my heartbeat and my measured blood pressure soars from normal to 180/70. In addition I become extremely sleepy, weak and experience a a crushing hot feeling all over but especially in my legs. Also the loss of sensation in my finger tips, which began recently, becomes temporarily worse. All this lasts for several hours. Obviously I know I should just stop using the product to see what happens but I have a very sweet tooth and it's the only artificial sweetener I've ever found acceptable. I'd just like to know if anyone else has experienced anything like this with this product. My home life is a bit bizarre, which would would take far too long to explain, but the result is very irregular meal times and the impracticality of a cooked breakfast so I'm anxious to solve this problem.
