ORIGINAL: ShaharThorne These cookies were made with Splenda so [sm=champ.gif] This is a hijack but I think that's the wrong way to go. Diabetes is a reaction to sugar or anything that can become sugar (i.e., carbs). Splenda cookies have no sugar but they are loaded with carbs in the form of flour. So they're still not diabetic friendly. I am concerned about artificial sweeteners and what they might do to me. There are a lot of companies that have made a boatload of money trying to convince people that there's no big thing with diabetes - you continue to eat the way you've always eaten, but simply replace the sugar with artificial sweeteners, and you're fine. I threw all that propaganda out right away, and simply made the following changes: 1. I quit eating prepared (frozen) dinners. That stuff is loaded with carbs, as well as fats and salt. 2. I quit drinking fruit juices straight. I dilute them with soda water and ice. 3. I dialed down the carbs I eat. 4. I take Metformin and vitamins designed for diabetics.
