Is sucralose ok for diabetics?
My doctor told me to reduce sugar due to my diabetes. I see sucralose in many 'sugar-free' items. Just wanted to know if it's genuinely okay for us diabetics or if there's some hidden catch, na?

Yes, it is perfectly fine in moderation. My teenage son has juvenile diabetes and we use sucralose occasionally for baking his birthday treats so he doesn't feel left out. Just keep monitoring their levels regularly.

Haan, bilkul chalega! Sucralose se sugar level nahi badhta hai na. Bas dhyan rakhna ki market ke 'sugar-free' products mein baki cheezein bhi hoti hain jo sugar badha sakti hain, toh dhyan se check karna.

At Apollo, my father's doctor explicitly told us that sucralose is safe for him to consume. However, they recommended not going overboard with it. I suggest you consult your physician once to clear any doubts.

I totally get it, giving up your morning sweet tea is the hardest part of a diabetes diagnosis. Sucralose is a safe option that doesn't affect blood glucose, so you can definitely use it to make the transition easier.

It is absolutely fine for diabetics as it has a zero glycemic index. But a pro tip: look out for bulking agents like dextrose or maltodextrin in some commercial packets, as those fillers can sometimes spike your sugar levels.
