My doctor advised me to cut down on sugar because of my border-line diabetes. I started using sucralose in my chai and desserts, but then I read somewhere that even sugar substitutes can affect blood sugar.

My doctor took away my sugar, so now I survive on sucralose. Thankfully, it doesn't raise my blood sugar, though it still can't match the joy of a real sweet!
