Some more natural choices in sugar to try would be Stevia, Xylitol and Agave Nectar. Check with your doctor but I believe both Stevia and Xylitol are known as being safe for diabetics.
For yourself, if you choose xylitol, start slowly so your body can adjust to it. I use it in all the time now and I also bake with it too.
Also beware of anything with high fructose corn syrup, it's in everything so read your labels. I stopped using it because I heard that high fructose corn syrup creates eight times the insulin response on your pancreas than normal sugar does.
It's no wonder diabetes is so rampant in this country.
