Rosie if you read Richard Bernstein's book, The Diabetes Solution, he gives a LOT of backstory on how diabetes historically has been detected, and treated. It really gave me some insight into why the groupthink persists. It really helped me explain WHY I should eat to my meter instead follwoing any prescribed diet, whatsoever.

Connie, it is not the sugar that spikes, it is the maltodextrin they add as a bulking agent.
I do very well on Truvia, but it is only sold ion packets. I buy another product for bulk use, Z-Sweet, that comes in 1/2 lb packages and seemingly does not contain maltodextrin ... (has anyone checked the package? It does not spike me).

Rosie, have you TRIED erythritol or xylitol, to see if they spike you? They seem to be the only two that do not spike me!
