I can't speak for all diabetics, but...
I have very bad reactions to NutraSweet (aspertame).
I use Splenda (Sucralose), and Sweet One (acesulfame K).
Haven't seen Sweet One in stores in years, but acesulfame K is a common food/beverage ingredient.
My A1c is running around 5.6 to 5.8.
Erythritol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol.
It is a competitor to synthetic sweeteners like Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal) and Sucralose (Splenda).
That makes me skeptical that this story is meant to protect the synthetics.
I have a friend with one gene Factor V Leiden. He had a miserable reaction to his first Moderna vaccine. He had a much worse reaction to his second Moderna vax. This was in early 2021 when my small city was having hearings on Covid and municipally supplied vaccines. I submitted testimony to the fact that Factor V and also Sickle Cell Trait and Disease (which affects Africn-Americans) were two blood conditions which might bear special attention. I suggested that at vaccine clinics, people with those conditions should be made aware of potential reactions and also be encouraged to stay more than 15 minutes to see if a bad reaction occurred after the shot. I also submitted an estimate as to how many thousands of the city residents might have those conditions. In addition I suggested that since around 2.5 times more Blacks were dying of Covid that it would be a good idea to encourage people to improve their immunity with Vitamin D3 capsules. I never saw any sign these advices were acted on by my local government.
Recently I saw titles of 2 articles on Factor V and the Covid issue, but unfortunately my computer jumped to another tab before I could copy the URLs for these articles. Perhaps someone else saw them and could send me the URLs.

Oh please, who paid for this study?
If you have eaten sugar free candy and gotten explosive gas and/or diarrhea, you’ve had erythritol. A.k.a. sugar alcohols. For reference, read the comments on the sugar free gummie bears on Amazon. Hilarious.
If you’re doing KETO and eating this stuff, you’re doing it wrong and won’t lose weight. If you do manage to lose some, you’re going to have a rebound when you give up on KETO. Fix the snacking problem before proceeding.
For me, KETO works for my waistline and lipid profile. When I started, I could not quit snacking, so I skipped sitting down to meals and just broke my meals up into snacks. Over time, I have adapted to eating one low carb (<20) meal a day. Fasting does wonderful things for me. Everything about my health is improving, including arthritic pain.
Plain white sugar or honey.
I dont know what side of this you come down on so I dont really mean to be directing these thoughts directly toward you and since most research shows exactly what the government paid it to show vigilant suspicion is always wise.
Honestly, dont care. I doubt that this is the first. Youll note that this was a few months back and I had already heard of this a way back already then so I doubt that this was referring to that study. (Im intentionally being vague timewise, injuries have left me unreliable in that area.)
The cheerleaders arent going to listen anyway. Discussing sweeteners is like trying to talk someone out of their favorite cult and the responses tend to be exactly what one would expect from the average passive aggressive millennial.
The problem is that the “its natural” crowd insisted that it get put in everything and then started demanding that everyone else eat it because “its safe” and if you dont want to then “youre a conspiracy theorist.” Of course so was aspartame and sucralose until it wasnt. Just recently another article on the problems with most alternative sweeteners came out and we got the same false replies from the same stock owners that “never heard of this before.” We’ve been having these conversations around here for 20+ years on some of these things and the same regulars are still claiming that their half a dozen diet cokes a day or whatever their vice is would be perfectly safe so the “new and entirely unheard of” research should be disregarded until like dozens of other toxic food additives that we allow it just becomes so common that it fades into the background of the toxic burden the average American carries. There is research suggesting that saccharin may be safer than some of these but still the cultists rally behind their favorite because of their brand loyalty to the product that uses a particular one.
“Well, atchwoolly...”
Nope, dont want to hear it. I dont want or need a similar 20+ year conversation with any of these people on why erythritol is the bestest because erythritol cultists have already shown themselves to be the same as the others.
“Well, Im sorry you feel that way but we will have to agree to disagree because Im right. Its natural...”
So is arsenic. I would invite all of the cultists to use some of that and stop contaminating my food.
Low sugar fruit.
Sucralose?
I loved Tab, but only from glass bottles.
It’s often a lack of intellectual heft. Some just can’t process what they read and make sense of it, as they don’t have the capacity to do so.
