SPLENDA’s not bad.

5% sucralose & the rest is dextrose and maltodextrin.

If you’d like to try natural substitutes, here’s a really nice list in order of glycemic index (not sweetness).

Mrs. HK has used coconut palm sugar with excellent results.

And I’m led to understand that Lo Han is quite sweet; a little goes a long ways.

I used to be pretty dextrose, but as I got older I’m a little less nimble.

Thank you so much for that list!

I copied it and printed it so I can keep it as a reference. I never know when my pancreas is going to do an About Face and my sugar levels will go from 89-91 to 150+. I want to be ready when it does.

My Favorite Son manages his diabetes quite well, but had I known that his dad was diabetic 10 years sooner than I did, I might have been able to help FS delay the onset of the disease a few years. No, I don’t feel guilty. I just hate to see my son deal with a disease that could have been prevented or delayed.
