All carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars, like glucose, during digestion. Controlling blood glucose is one of the primary goals in diabetes management. People with diabetes may desire to lower their carbohydrate, added sugar, and calorie intake by using sugar substitutes, including low-calorie or no-calorie sweeteners. These can come from natural sources, like stevia and monk fruit, or be synthesized in a laboratory, like sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin.
