Uhh, that is what I said, that stevia does not raise blood sugar. It
lowers it. In fact the links you sent me verify that I am correct on
that point. See:

lowers blood sugar
http://reid_j.tripod.com/blood_sugar.htm
Several modern clinical studies suggest that stevia may have the ability
to lower and balance blood sugar levels

Stevia <http://www.associatedcontent.com/topic/18203/stevia.html> has no
side effects, and actually lowers the blood sugar

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.
