The fact that Stevia is sweet and tastes good is just a secondary consideration. Here's what happens when you add stevia to a meal: Abstract; Stevioside is present in the plant Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni (SrB). Extracts of SrB have been used for the treatment of diabetes in, for example, Brazil, although a positive effect on glucose metabolism has not been unequivocally demonstrated. We studied the acute effects of stevioside in type 2 diabetic patients. Twelve type 2 diabetic patients were included in an acute, paired cross-over study. A standard test meal was supplemented with either 1 g of stevioside or 1 g of maize starch (control). Blood samples were drawn at 30 minutes before and for 240 minutes after ingestion of the test meal. Compared to control, stevioside reduced the incremental area under the glucose response curve by 18% (P =.013). The insulinogenic index (AUC(i,insulin)/AUC(i,glucose)) was increased by approximately 40% by stevioside compared to control (P <.001). Stevioside tended to decrease glucagon levels, while it did not significantly alter the area under the insulin, glucagon-like peptide 1, and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide curves. In conclusion, stevioside reduces postprandial blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients, indicating beneficial effects on the glucose metabolism. Stevioside may be advantageous in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14681845 It’s NOT just that Stevia is better than sugar, Stevia actually cures Type-2 diabetes!

Maybe a thorough post I wrote about stevia can help you: http://www.healing-diabetes.com/stevia-vs-aspartame-part-2 Cheers Hi Habib, it is supposed that your sugar levels will drop when you use stevia, specially if you have diabetes type 2.

Good bye all juices until I'm lower. Still love the stevia I’m using stevia daily but I just got informed about high sugars in my blood. Good bye all juices
until I’m lower. Still love the stevia

Stevia is not a carbohydrate and cannot increase your glucose (blood sugar) levels. Sugar is carbohydrate, even if it was produced using organic methods. Stevia is not carbohydrate. Gasoline and water are both liquids under similar conditions, but if you put water in your car's fuel tank, instead of gasoline, your car will stop functioning as a vehicle. Diane Susie,

I have begun a champaigne to convert ALL of my foods to organic and organic sugar has been one of my major changes, as far as sweetner goes. I have been diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic but my blood work is all normal. They say I am insuline resistant but I can control that with diet and exercise, so I want to be certain that I adhere to a diet which is condusive to good health. Can you explain the difference between stevia and organic sugar? Thank you. Susie To whom it may concern:
