A member asked:
What can i do if my husband is diabetic and drinks sugar free koolaid with aspartame could this raise his sugar levels?

Not directly: Aspartame is an Amino Acid and cannot directly raise blood sugar. But, it may increase cravings for other sweets or starchy foods, and if someone eats more carbohydrates than they planned to, that could lead to higher sugar levels.

Yes: Look at the carbs. Sugars are just added in with carbs as they are a type of carb. The carbohydrates are what you should be paying attention to.
