Sweetener can be consumed by diabetics, and relatively safer sugar substitutes such as erythritol, xylitol, and steviol glycosides can be used as appropriate.
Sweetener is a non-nutritive synthetic sweetener that is 30 times sweeter than sucrose and is one of the sugar substitutes that can be used by people with diabetes.
But the safety of sweeteners has not been established, and there is some evidence that if beverages or other foods with excessive levels of sweeteners are consumed regularly, they can be harmful to the human liver and nervous system due to excessive intake, especially for the elderly, pregnant women, and children who have a weakened ability to metabolize and detoxify.
Sugar substitutes that are relatively safe for diabetics on the market today include xylitol, steviol glycosides, erythritol, etc., which are also moderately priced and can be used at the discretion of diabetics. However, any sweetener, even if it has no effect on insulin sensitivity for the time being, should not be consumed in excess.
