"Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD" <[log in to unmask]> Kathrynne et al - HELP PLEASE!! I don't use artificial sweeteners but my diabetic husband does a lot. He controls the diabetes through diet and pills. He depends on nutrasweet in ice cream, yogurt, gingerale, pie, etc. etc. I'm convinced he needs to have a long trial period off all artificial substitutes. He needs creative and satisfying alternatives that also exclude sugar, honey, molasses...<groan, sob> Any ideas will not only help him (by the way, one of his hobbies is cooking) but will also reduce my ANXIETY level!
