  1. Hi there,

    Looks good, just wondering what sugar substitute you use and how did your BS react to it?

    Thanks,

  2. I use any of Stevia, Splenda, Truvia and Z sweet. All have a funny aftertaste one way or the other so mixing them up helps a bit. Not all are spoon for spoon substitutes. Eg Truvia is a third of the amount and Splenda one half.
