Is Stevia Good for Diabetics?

is stevia good for diabetics

In the quest for healthier living and dietary management, especially for diabetics, the question often arises: Is stevia good for diabetics?

The answer is a resounding yes. Stevia is the safest natural sweetener, recognized for its ability to effectively sweeten foods and drinks.

It achieves all this without the adverse effects on blood sugar levels typically associated with processed sugar. 

At GOOD GOOD, we harness the power of stevia flavors in our products, offering a delicious alternative that supports healthier diets and lifestyles.

In this article, we'll evaluate the benefits of stevia for diabetics and also offer excellent sweetener alternatives.

Let's dig in!

What this article covers:

Should People with Diabetes Avoid Stevia?

Stevia is diabetic-friendly, particularly with how it's incorporated into products like our vanilla stevia drops.

Is Stevia Healthy?

Our research indicates that its natural origin and minimal processing helps it retain organic stevia benefits, including antioxidants, which can contribute to your overall health.

It's even the healthiest sugar alternative for coffee, ensuring you digest less sugar between darker blends like iced Americanos and smoother variations like lattes.

At GOOD GOOD, we believe in the power of natural ingredients to promote wellness, which is why stevia is a cornerstone in our product lineup.

How Does Stevia Affect Blood Sugar?

Based on our first-hand experience, stevia doesn't raise blood sugar levels, making it an ideal sweetener for people with diabetes.

This is because stevia stimulates the insulin response without the need for actual sugar intake, helping diabetics with managing blood glucose levels more effectively.

Our commitment at GOOD GOOD is to support our customers in their health journey by providing products that aren't just delicious but also beneficial in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

How Much Stevia Is OK To Have?

According to the World Health Organization, the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of stevia is 4 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

Our findings show that this amount is considered safe for daily consumption without adverse effects.

At GOOD GOOD, we carefully formulate our stevia drops to ensure that they can be enjoyed as part of a balanced and health-conscious diet, offering the sweetness you desire without the negative impact on your blood sugar levels.

Whether you're managing diabetes or simply seeking a healthier sweetener option, we're here to support your wellness journey.

Erythritol

Erythritol is another excellent choice for diabetics seeking sweet alternatives. This sugar alcohol is naturally found in some fruits and fermented foods and has minimal calories.

Unlike other sugar alcohols, erythritol doesn't affect blood glucose or insulin levels, making it an ideal sweetener for people with diabetes.

Our Sweet Like Sugar granulated sweetener is made with erythritol and specifically designed to replace processed sugar one-to-one in recipes.

With treats like our GOOD GOOD gingerbread cookies, it provides a diabetic-friendly option that doesn't sacrifice taste or texture.

Additionally, people with diabetes can enjoy products like our sugar free grape jelly. It's rich in natural amounts of erythritol, helping you monitor your weight while living your best life.

Sugar Alcohols

Sugar alcohols offer sweetness with fewer calories than sugar and minimal impact on insulin levels. The most common ones include:

  • erythritol
  • xylitol
  • sorbitol

As per our expertise, products containing healthier sugar substitutes like erythritol are absorbed more slowly into the bloodstream and can be a part of a healthy diet for those with diabetes.

At GOOD GOOD, our jellies and jams contain sugar alcohols naturally derived from the fruits we put into our recipes.

For instance, Forest Fruits Jam from our 99% sugar free jelly range not only boasts a high fruit profile, it's also low in calories and promotes better dental health.
