[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1039305, member: 211504"] Purely speculation: it's a matter of whether or not the glucometer can read that particular type of sweetener. Most people don't realize that artificial sweeteners are carbohydrates and therefore contain calories (energy). The issue is whether or not our bodies can convert those carbohydrates into useable energy (glucose). It's the same basic reason why we put gasoline/diesel into our cars but not broccoli and vegetables. Long story short, our bodies may not recognize certain sweeteners as energy, but that doesn't mean our glucometers don't. [Pure Guess] [/QUOTE]
