Actually all sweeteners, both with sugar and without will affect blood sugar somewhat. The non nutritive sweeteners will actually cause an increase in insulin production just from the taste (that is if you take it in a pill it has no effect), because the body "thinks" some sugar is coming its way, and this will actually reduce blood sugar somewhat in preparation for the incoming sweets You are correct that is it totally safe for diabetics.
