I use Stevia with (almost) no problems. It is VERY VERY SWEET. It also has a very slight “off” taste, but that is not a big deal. To give you an idea of the sweetness, with the liquid extract 1 drop = 1 teaspoon sugar.

As a type 2 diabetic, stevia has no effect on my blood glucose levels at all.

Your mileage may vary

I’ve been using Splenda for some time. I wonder what the difference in Stevia and Splenda might be. I’ve heard that Splenda had some thing in it that wasn’t too good for us. I border on sweets addiction.

I think my blood sugar may get low at times and my body is telling me I need sugar. Is that possible?
