Yes, it is generally good, but just check the label because 'Stevia in the Raw' contains dextrose which can sometimes affect blood sugar levels.
Man, I use this because I stay awake half the night working and need sweet coffee to survive. It tastes fine and doesn't crash my energy, but don't dump the whole packet at once, it is surprisingly sweet!
My glucose levels went crazy last year, but after switching to Stevia in the Raw for my desserts and tea, my HbA1c has finally come down to 6.2. It really helped me manage my cravings during my recovery phase.
I have been dealing with type 2 diabetes for a decade. Stevia in the Raw is decent, but be aware that it uses dextrose as a bulking agent. If you are very sensitive, I'd suggest looking for pure liquid stevia extract instead.
I was thinking of buying Stevia in the Raw for my diabetic mother, but I read online that the added ingredients might cause small sugar spikes. Has anyone else noticed their sugar levels rising after using this brand? I am a bit worried.
It is a helpful product for diabetes, but remember that diet changes must go hand-in-hand with daily walking and monitoring your blood pressure. Keep visiting your doctor for routine checkups to ensure everything is on track.
My dad has been using this brand for his tea. Honestly, his blood sugar has been totally fine and it didn't cause any spikes. It is a solid sugar replacement, just go for it.
