  splenda use and diabetis neuropatia - Posted by Anonymous

  i been told that the usage of splenda or similar products are bad for diabetoc people; what product is the best option to use? Also I would like to get the best advice for my mom's neuropatia, she shakes continuoslly her arm, can't hold steady a glass of water or anything, needs to hold with both hands a glass; she starts with the right hand and now has the same with the left hand; her doctor prescribe her the Lyrica but it doesn't help her; Lyrica only help her to don't feel the pain in her legs . I'll appreciatte your advice. Thanks

  Hello, Please discuss the use of Splenda or other sweeteners with your physician. On our site we have the following information about Splenda and sweeteners to give you information; 1. http://www.diabetescare.net/article/title/study-results-add-to-evidence-that-splenda-is-safe-for-people-with-diabetes 2. http://www.diabetescare.net/article/title/the-facts-about-sugar-sugar-substitutes 3. http://www.diabetescare.net/article/title/continued-debate-on-impact-of-artificial-sweeteners I would advise you seek advice from a specialist concerning your mother. Ask your mother's physician if the best doctor for her to see would be a neurologist. Hopefully the doctor can help determine the cause of her tremors and advise her on an appropriate treatment plan. Please let us know how you make out. Clara Schneider MS,RD,RN,CDE,LDN
