Sweetners?

Try Erythritol - it's virtually no calories and all its carbs aren't digestible so can't cause rises in your glucose levels, is considered to be "natural" and safe, and is one that is often recommended for diabetic use.. It's available in granulated and powdered forms that you can use it in baking, etc. Sukrin make a "golden" sugar version, a granulated version and an icing sugar powdered version, but they're fairly expensive. Their website has lots of recipes for their different forms.

I use it to make sweet muffins, shortcake and cookies, and to add to cream, etc, to sweeten fruit, and to make cream puddings and frosting.


As a dog owner, I wouldn't be so much worried about the packets but sweetened goodies left at doggy snaffling levels, but I suppose it depends on how careful you are and how obedient the dogs are - mine are opportunist little thieves in spite of my efforts at "leave it" training, mainly because my other half will share his plate with them...

I use Erythritol on its own or mixed with stevia. But I use sugar as well. Not being used to sweet stuff I cut the total amount in half and mix sugar and sweetener. If original recipe is 120 ml sugar I use 30 ml sweetener and 30 ml sugar. But then the very expensive 300 gram packet of sweetener lasts a year.
