[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2240719, member: 480869"] Also I’d ask what sort of diet are you careful with? It’s a lot more than just the sweetie aisle you need to avoid/limit if type 2. Bread, rice, pasta, cereals, porridge, flour, potatoes, fruits other than berries all fall in this group. All the starch in these become glucose in your body the same way sugar does. See the links at the bottom of my signature for more details. Which sweetener do you currently use? Honey is a bad idea. It’s just sugar as are many of the so called healthy options. There’s a lot of difference between the effects on diabetes between them. Typically those with less effect are stevia, erythritol, xylitol and monkfruit - all classed as non artificial. All sold under various brand names so check the ingredients list. Each has its own particular “taste” you may or may not like. There are some combination ones too that seek to minimise aftertaste. Avoid any powdered or tablet ones with maltodextrin or dextrose in them. Splenda for example does liquid drops that are safer than other forms (if you’re ok with artificial ones) as they are not bulked out with dodgy ingredients. [/QUOTE]
