When I started on Preds last month, my doctor mentioned that it can raise my risk of getting diabetes while on it, so I should watch my sugar intake. I'm curious, does this include artificial sweeteners like Splenda? Diabetics can replace sugar with Splenda in recipes to continue to enjoy their favorite sweet treats without causing harm to their bodies, is this the same for me on Preds? I love to bake, I find it therapeutic, and I want to satisfy my sweet tooth...a two birds with one stone kinda thing...
My doc didn't have much of an opinion on it, so I was just wondering if anyone else has had this conversation with their doc?
Thanks.
