Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Kim I still have some boxes if you end up not being able to find it .. let me know I'll gladly pop some in the mail to you.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Kim, I ordered it online and it was fast and easy. I think it arrived 3 days after I ordered. Also, while I loke the taste and everything, I haven't used it since my surgery. I'm just curious as to what you use it on. I've been getting really tired lately, and seriously considered having a cup of coffee, and would use Splenda for that. However, I'd hate to fall off the wagon and go back to a daily cup of coffee.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Hey Lyssa, Any chance I could buy a box of that Splenda off of you? My MIL is sending me some from New Brunswick, but my surgery is next Monday, and I'd like to have some for when I come home from the hospital.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Alice, Funny you mention coffee...I couldn't drink it for the longest time, made me feel ill. Now I'm back to the one cup, two cups, three cups.......more! UGH! Splenda works with ANYTHING you'd ordinarily use sugar in. Coffee, baking, cinnamon w/sugar etc.. Dawn Re: Splenda?

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Hi Kim, Dr. Thayer doesn't forbid it, but I don't like being dependent on the stuff, you know? I love the taste and I like being alert in the morning, but I hate being addicted! Plus, it can irritate the stomach and dehydrate a little. - Alice A.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Alice I drink coffee every day and thats what I use Splenda for. In fact, I LOVE gourmet coffee and drink 4 cups every day.........Why would it be "going off the wagon" if you drink coffee? Does your doc forbid it? Who is your doc? Well, I admire your discipline, girl! Keep up the good work! hugs......kim in plymouth lknglas11@... wrote: Kim, I ordered it online and it was fast and easy.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Maura, Splenda is a derivative made from sugar. To me, it tastes almost exactly like it, with no aftertaste.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 Maura-I'm pretty sure Splenda is safe for diabetics because it does not cause a rise in insulin levels like sugar.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 here is the info right off their site http://www.splenda.com A message to Diabetics. " No doubt about it - what, when, and how much to eat are the most challenging decisions of managing diabetes. Today, the nutrition guidelines for people with diabetes are in synch with the way all Americans should eat - choose a variety of foods; eat more grains, fruits and vegetables; eat less fat saturated fat and cholesterol; and moderate your consumption of sugars and sweets. Easier said than done you say! Now, diabetes meal planning is just a bit easier and sweeter with the new low-calorie sweetener - SPLENDA® Low-Calorie Sweetener. SPLENDA is made with the sweetening ingredient sucralose. Sucralose is made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar. Better yet, your body doesn't metabolize it as sugar. This means SPLENDA gives you the sweet taste of sugar without carbohydrates or calories. Research shows that sucralose does not raise blood sugar in people with diabetes. More than 100 scientific studies done over 20 years have shown that sucralose is safe and in April 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the use of sucralose. What's different about sucralose? It's very stable. That means you can use SPLENDA just like sugar when you cook and bake. SPLENDA will stay sweet regardless of how long the cooking time or how high the cooking temperature is. Just use SPLENDA® the same way you would use sugar. So, enjoy the great sugar-like taste of SPLENDA® and make caring for your diabetes just a bit easier and sweeter. And remember to reduce your risk of problems with diabetes, keep your blood sugar in control. " Hope S.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 Maura, FYI: I have Dr. Randall a box of Splenda and he said it was just fine and dandy. In fact, if you go to http://www.splenda.com, it'll tell you all about it, besides, once this surgery is done, eventually you'll probably be non-insulin dependent, and/or become cured of diabetes anyways!
