A member asked:

Maltitol for diabetes in small quantities is it ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maltitol: This sugar alcohol is a carbohydrate and will cause a spike in blood sugar, although less than table sugar. I recommend that you try stevia, a natural sweetner, as long as it's from a reputable company as this will not raise blood sugar. It is much sweeter than sugar so follow the manufacturers instructions.
