I thought Stevia was OK. We started using it to sweeten tea a long time ago.
At first it was kinda weird, but after about a week, it was just like sugar.
Stevia also has a ton of fiber in it. Chuck

I use stevia in anything I want sweet. I have the powdered and liquid. Not
sugar, but it's better than nothing.
I eat lots of 'carbs'. Funny thing is that true carbohydrates may or may not
count as diet 'carbs'.
My choices are carbs/lean-meats/non-starchy veggies/fats/free items. If I
don't eat enough carbs, I go low-glucose. But to lose weight and keep the
calories low compared to fat-burning foods, I stay mostly away from white
bread, pastas, and fried foods.
So fruit is a 'carb', same as pasta or mashed potatoes. It's just how they
count it as fuel to be burned as a sugar would, to balance the insulin used.
My diet is a 2000 cal/day total, and that amounts to more roughage than I
normally eat. But I really miss my curried chicken wings. *Sniff* {:o(
I've lost 10# over the last 3 weeks and everything says I should be gaining
weight. Must be the exercise.

Can Diabetics use Stevia as a sweetener???
Absolutely. The things diabetics can't have are carbohydrates. Stevia
has no carbohydrates.
