I love my green tea. But, I like to drink it with some splenda it it. Does that jack up my blood sugar? Or can I continue to enjoy it.

Thanks in advance,
Julie

    Splenda doesn't affect my blood sugar but it really depends on how much you consume and how your body processes it. Why not check your blood sugar right before and then at a few intervals after you have the tea?

    I gave up coffee (except for the weekend) and drink my green tea on a daily basis. I put splenda in my mug....when I need more tea, I just pour it over the tiny bit of tea i have left ...still semi-sweet. I limit my splenda intake to 2 packets a day. (one packet on my oatmeal)..not sure why but figure I get enough sweetness.
