Equal Sugar Substitute

Hi,
Can people with diabetes use Equal or other sugar substitute as much as they like? Some things I have read say "yes" others say "no" and I'm confused!

Sugar substitutes or non-caloric drinks will not affect your blood sugar, but I would consume in moderation. You may want to speak to a registered dietitian or contact the American Dietetic Association. Foods containing sugar alcohols have given me an upset stomach when I have eaten too much.

But I have never had a problem with sugar substitutes. i would recommend Splenda cause it is the least artificial of them all and you can measure it just like sugar when you cook.
