[QUOTE="sugarshy, post: 1710454, member: 378044"] [B]I've was diagnosed with T2D well over a year ago and it's still a learning curve for me. I have been using sweeteners occasionally for coffee etc. Just recently I have been using Aldi's own brand and also Stevia. This morning I took the trouble to look at the ingredients and discovered that the main ingredient is Maltodextrin, in both products, I'm referring to the big tubs of sweeteners that are used with the equivalent volume as sugar in sweetness, then I discovered online that this substance is worse for you than sugar itself!
