Blood sugar and stevia

[Teaandherb]

Hi, for treating and preventing diabetes, you might have heard of Stevia, a calorie-free sweetener. My uncle tried stevia extract and stevia leaves for years, and actually, his diabetes is well under control. Stevia is originated from South America, but it is mainly grown in China now. If you search

Hi Patrice, I have found the same with stevia , they have improved it a lot since this thread was started, I find the best one is Truvia, and is a lot better to take than any of the other sweetners including Splenda which definatly can give one morning  head aches and side effects .

Hey Pete,

i use Stevia in liquid form and I love it!  Type 2 diabetes runs in my family going back 3 generations. In addition, I am overweight, so at a more pronounced risk. I hate artificial sweeteners, so researched and tried Stevia.  I do not like the powder form much, but I use the liquid form in hot and iced tea, in lemonade, and have just started experimenting with pies. I love baking sweet potato pie. Stevia tends to work well here because except for the crust; flour is not involved. In other words, yum...yum!

•What is stevia in fact?

It is a natural non caloric sweetener. In fact it’s a small green plant, which grows in Paraguay. Its leaves have a delicious and refreshing taste 10-15 times sweeter than table sugar. Meanwhile the stevia extracts (steviosides) have 200-300 times the sweetness of table sugar.
