Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - madmax - 06-25-2006 Yep it's the "looky-loo" again ![]() Re: Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - Lorraine - 06-25-2006 Can't help, but great to see you here, Madmax! ![]() Re: Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - vannin - 06-25-2006 It might be a good idea to contact the company for an info/cook book. I understand it can be used in many ways, jam etc. But you might want to do a seach on it as well, some people don't give it full points for safety. Good to see you here Madmax. 'bout time... Re: Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - cjs - 06-25-2006 Tracie, it's amazing the amount of people who do use Splenda and what all they use it in. Good luck!! Yes, very good to see you here again... ![]() Re: Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - madmax - 06-25-2006 Hi Dale and Lorraine ![]() Tracie Re: Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - vannin - 06-25-2006 Shane is diabetic too, Chinese food is what sends him over the edge. Re: Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - DFen911 - 06-25-2006 Hello and welcome to the boards. ![]() My husband is a type 2 diabetic and we've been very lucky thus far in that diet and execise help keep it under control. Anytime I have to use sugar in a recipe I still use sugar. But he uses it every morning on his oatmeal and cereal. Now I have to buy it a Costco because it's a lot cheaper. Re: Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - bjcotton - 06-25-2006 I don't use it Tracy, but that is no recommendation. My pancreas quit working which is why I'm diabetic..though it does seem to work on occasion. I just limit how much of things I eat. Seems to work for me. That and a little insulin a day...only 15 units which is quite small. Re: Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - Suzie_Homemaker - 06-26-2006 I'm not diabetic, but my MIL is. I use Splenda in my iced tea and in certain recipes. [Example: When making cream cheese frosting for carrot cake, I use Splenda Granular instead of powdered sugar; can't tell the diff. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hope this helps. Re: Any diabetics out there using "Splenda"???? - Gloria2b - 06-26-2006 As far as I am concerned Splenda is the best replacement for sugar products out there! Yes, I have been T2 diabetic for some time now! Not to mention the other 50 million health problems...! The Splenda website has a lot of good information as well as some really good recipes and a newsletter you can sign up for. The newsletter will have recipes too! I even use Splenda in plain nonfat yogurt with some cocoa powder and almond extract to create a "pudding-type" of dessert! Yummy! The Brown Sugar Blend Splenda is good also! I use it regularly also! I have a group on yahoo called "Healthy Recipes for Diabetic Friends" and do post a lot of Splenda recipes as well as recommending it as a substitute for sugar in many recipes that call for sugar. I tried other sweeteners but had trouble with some "side effects" that required me to find something else and Splenda fit the need! I also use a herbal sweetener called Stevia in herbal teas which works well. If you have not heard of it ... you might check it out as well! I use the liquid form that comes with a dropper ... I use no more than 5 drops per glass otherwise it tastes odd. If I can be of any other help...let me know... Take care, Gloria |
