ARTIFICIAL SWEETENING AGENTS IN DIABETES

Can you live without eating CHOCOLATES, ICE CREAM, SWEETS, DOUGHNUTS, AND OTHER FOOD with a lot of sugar in it ????

The answer will be a BIG NO.

Then, how can  DIABETICS live without it ???

We all know that simple carbs in the form of sugar (SUCROSE ) are a SLOW and SWEET POISON for them.
But, there is a loophole about which we will discuss i:e ARTIFICIAL SWEETENING AGENTS other than sucrose or glucose.

Let's discuss them briefly one by one.

1. STEVIA 
This one is a perfectly safe artificial sweetener.
Can be used in both  Hot and cold foods. 

2. ASPARTAME 
This is also known as SUGAR-FREE GOLD with safe limits of 6-8 tablets maximum in a day.
TO BE AVOIDED  in hot food.

3. SUCRALOSE
Its also known as SUGAR-FREE NATURA with safer limits of 10-12 sachets/tablets a day.
CAN BE USED IN HOT FOOD and VERY MUCH SAFER. 

4. SACCHARINE 
This was the first ever used sugar-free agent for a decade. However, it has been banned in US states because of BLADDER TUMOUR as its major side effect.

HOW DO THEY WORK ???

1. All the artificial sweetening agents are 100-500 times sweeter than daily used SUCROSE.
So, even a few drops of these can give equal sweetness to your food as given by the sucrose.
2. They are not digested in our body due to their complex form and thus, do no harm to your body by no rise in your blood glucose.

BOTTOMLINE

IT IS ADVISED TO USE THESE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS IN RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWED DOSES ONLY AS THEY ARE STILL UNDER TRIAL.

HOWEVER, TAKING THEM IN LIMITS POSES NO DANGER AND EVEN DIABETICS CAN ENJOY THE SWEETNESS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
