Is Stevia safe for diabetics?
In its pure form, Stevia has no effect on blood sugar levels and is therefore considered by many to be “diabetic friendly”. However, diabetes is a medical condition which should be monitored and treated by a qualified physician or health care practitioner. Ask your doctor prior to including Stevia in your diet. If they do not support Stevia, ask them politely for the latest research supporting their opinion. You may find that it is not the pure Stevia extract which is the problem, but other substances which some producers may be adding to it.
