That's correct, you heard me right. Over two weeks ago, I stopped using Splenda in ANYTHING. I used to put it in my beverages, I baked with it, Oh, by the way, I'm a type 2, and up until two weeks ago, I was on 20 units of Lantus and no other diabetes meds.
Well, you should have seen what happened when I stopped the Splenda and used Stevia. I dropped 40 points in 2 days. One morning my sugar reading was 80. I could NOT believe my eyes.
I now use Stevia for any sweetening purpose, and guess what? I am down to 9 units of Lantus.
I have been type 2 for 22 years . I have a very very good chance of getting off Lantus for good.
I never associated Splenda with keeping my blood glucose levels higher than normal. I figured "I'm diabetic, I can't use sugar, I'll use SPLENDA'.
What a difference.
And you might be wondering what beverages I drink.
I drink ONE thing. I purchase a Rasberry Lemondade sweetened with Stevia from an online website. I am not allowed to post the address of the website because I have not done 5 posts yet and I'm not an active member. But just google truelemon and you'll get the website.
They sell packets of crystalized lemon, lime and orange, and their newer products are lemonades.
Now I was never a fan of any kind of lemonade, but I bought the Rasberry Lemonade and I won't drink anything else.
You mix it with water, and I drink this quite a bit. It's so refreshing, and there is no additives and it's easy to mix. They are soon making a bulk form so you don't have to open up the little packets.
Discovering this website has changed my life.
I grow my own sprouts in my kitchen, I eat broccoli sprouts, mixed with radish, alfalfa and fenugreek sprouts, and of course, for protein I eat fish and chicken. I do not eat meat.
I have lost ALL THE WEIGHT I HAD TO LOSE, and the difference in my glucose level is amazing.
I am very pleased that I discovered that Splenda was not right for me. It might be fine for others, but for me, eliminating it from my body was essential.
Hope this helps someone.
