Sugar substitutes

rnctipton

Which sugar substitute do you like to use? Husband is diabetic and would like to start cooking/baking accordingly, but don't know which ones taste/work the best.

I like Truvia (Stevia in Canada).

Second vote for Truvia, it comes in packet, spoonable and I think there is a large bag for baking.

Splenda is the best manufactured no-calorie, no-carb sweetener, but stevia is all natural, no chemicals, and the carb impact is minimal. Is he Type I or Type II?

I use the generic Publix brand of Splenda since it costs less but I hear wonderful things about Stevia since it's all natural, which is probably best for your hubby. We bake with Splenda a lot and everything turns out yummy

we use the splenda, my wife when baking will use half real sugar and half splenda to cut back. I personally am trying my best to get off of substitute sugar but its hard since I have given up diet sodas but struggleing to lose the splenda for the coffee. Work in progress. Have a wonderful day!

Stevia in the raw.

He has Type II diabetes and is very finicky (?spelling)

He has Type II diabetes and is very finicky (?spelling)

Okay. Is he under control with just diet, or is he on medication?

Either way, I personally recommend stevia. Splenda is the next best sweetener, but I prefer to go the natural/clean route whenever possible. Good luck to both of you. You can also check out www.diabetes.org for help and ideas.

I think Nectresse tastes more like sugar than the others.
