Xylitol: Xylitol is a natural sugar, but its structure is different than the regular sugar that we eat. It is safer for diabetics in moderation. You physician or a dietician or diabetes educator can answer your questions. Talk with them. It is important to maintain good control

Talk to dietitian: You should be able to find a lot of sweet recipes for diabetics using substitute sugars or artificial sweeteners such as xylitol, look online and ask your doctor he may have a lot of resources for you as well. A dietitian could be very helpful and your insurance could cover some of the cost. Stay well, dr mokbel ( scdentalimplants.Com).
