#2: Artificial Sugars

Diabetic diets often feature foods labeled as low-sugar or low-calorie, highlighting the role of artificial sweeteners as a safer alternative to sugar. However, not all sweeteners are beneficial; some may influence insulin levels, bringing unwelcome news to those using them in their daily cup of coffee.

While it’s true that certain sweeteners can impact insulin levels, not all are offenders. Diabetics can safely enjoy tagatose and Stevia, which have proven not to affect blood glucose, making them reliable for maintaining blood sugar control.
