Do Artificial Sweeteners Raise Blood Sugar?

"No. Sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, and stevia
(touted as "natural" since it comes from a plant) contain no
calories and no carbohydrates, so they have no impact on
blood sugar. However, they can cause reactions, such as
headaches or hives, for some. You may want to limit any
sweetener to which you've had an adverse reaction."
