I love Truvia the new sweetener. It's very safe, made from the stevia plant. And there is no aftertaste or funny taste. There are so many good tasting recipes for diabetics. Your DH shouldn't have to feel deprived while he's managing the diabetes, that's hard enough. One thing I do know is simple carbs has to be limited. I switched to brown rice, whole wheat pasta, and now sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes because I am border line diabetic. Cindy
