hey jenkatt, there is a natural option that is terrific for diabetics. just try the stevia-based product TRUVIA. Maybe not perfect, but it is really good. Sprinkle it on your berries and I bet you can't tell it from sugar. And you can find it in grocery stores now. I haven't tried baking with it, but will at some point. They have some really good looking recipes on their web site.

Wish they could find a way to make MRC bars and drinks using a natural sweetener so much!

I like stevia and truvia, hubby hates it. For him it leaves a bad after taste. He like Splenda, and to be fair, it's a sugar derivitive. If you want to be picky, table sugar is a sugar derivative, with what they have to do to get it to that point.
Me, I prefer Equal. No clue why. But I do.
