Hi Fourm , I am a diabetic and was wondering what you all thought is a good sweetener to be using so confused? Have read all sorts this weekend about natural ones and how splenda is no good to just stick with sugar in moderation. Just need your thoughts on what i should be putting in my coffee/tea any advice would be greatly appreciated......   Thanks again

Usually with diabetes you need to stop all sugar or honey. It hits you too hard. I have currently been using truvia for cooking. I find it has less after taste. I also use splenda brown sugar substituent for baking. I have found trial and error the best for finding one that I do not mind too much

I use Stevia in my coffee. It is supposed to be "all natural". Hope this helps.

My favourite is EZ Sweetz.  There is not aftertaste, its affordable, and it is easy to carry the little bottle in any purse.  I also use it for baking and cooking, works great.  I know it is so confusing all the different types and everyone has their own preference too.  Good luck to you!

I swear if you read enough studies you'll find everything is bad for you even water...

I don't like the taste of stevia so I use splenda. Sure sugar is more natural but i don't want to be eating pure carbs.

Sometimes the best support  you can get isn't all purple puddles and pink rainbows.
