Totally natural, non toxic, much of the world has used it for many
decades. 30 to 300 times as sweet as sugar. There are some cookbooks
out there to cook with it. It isn't a sugar of any kind. Has a bit
of aftertaste that you get used to in a couple weeks. The most
natural would be the kind with no filler. Does not affect blood sugar
at all. Safe for all diabetics. Takes some practice to cook with it,
as it has no bulking ability for cooking like sugar, and no thickening
ability. If you hate sugar and toxic artificial sweeteners, it's great.
Actually all sweeteners, both with sugar and without will affect blood
sugar somewhat. The non nutritive sweeteners will actually cause an
increase in insulin production just from the taste (that is if you take
it in a pill it has no effect), because the body "thinks" some sugar is
coming its way, and this will actually reduce blood sugar somewhat in
preparation for the incoming sweets
You are correct that is it totally safe for diabetics.
