Elevated Blood Sugar
If you have diabetes, exercise caution when consuming products that contain xylitol, because this sweetener can have small effects on your blood sugar and insulin release. Consuming sugar alcohols such as xylitol can slightly elevate your blood sugar levels, especially if you have type 1 diabetes.
Steviol is a natural product and we would use it in preference to xylitol.
