Just trying to understand; are you referring to artificial sweeteners that contain no carbohydrates. No calories. I don't have diabetes, so I haven't gotten the medical advice that a lot of you have, but I AM trying to control my blood sugar/insulin, so, well, like I said, I'm just trying to understand. |
