Mmmmm, sugar

Yeah, I know, we diabetics love the stuff. And the pharmaceutical/chemical community does it best to try to satisfy our desire for sweets. Usually, they use cheap chemicals to try to imitate the taste. Personally, I can't use any because I always have the chemical aftertaste. Pink, yellow, or blue, they all are nasty. What I have done is weened myself off sugar. I drink Wendy's iced tea straght up, no sweetener.
Coffee just milk. Did you know milk has a lot of sugar? Read the label. Cereal, just milk. Oatmeal, nada.

You would be surprised how quickly your tastes change. Might have to go gradually, like add half your usual, but it will be worth it.

According to most research not sponsored by the manufacturer, artificial sweeteners are not healthy for us. Try to go natural, if you can.

Stay well.

No, I did not know that milk has a lot of sugar, so I learned something from your post. Thanks.

I've recently begun the HCG Diet, and I'm in the 'very low calorie' phase, so I'm avoiding sugars.

I've been using stevia, to try and satisfy my yen for sweet tastes, but I really don't like it... the icky aftertaste puts me off. I've heard good things about the sweetener Lo Han, and I've just ordered some of it, to see if I like it. It would probably be easier to just do what you're doing, and just totally say NO to added sweetness, but I'm not ready for that yet!
