Sweeteners and blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how two common artificial sweeteners (sucralose and saccharin) affect blood sugar and the bacteria in your gut over a short period. If you have type 2 diabetes, you might find this helpful to understand how diet choices impact your condition.
