These can include foods sweetened with brown sugar. In general, however, meal plans for people with diabetes often have a focus on controlling total calorie and/or carbohydrate intake. SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend is one way for people with diabetes to help reduce their intake of sugar and its calories and carbohydrate.
