typically, people who load up on sweeteners eat a lot more sugars from other sources ie breads/rice/corn based products which is the source of the problem.

Actually this isn't true in my case and I have had a nasty go around with nurtasweet - I used it for a very long time way before I found out I have Diabetes and I stayed pretty sick all the time - I didn't eat much of any of the other typical things one would think of - there was ONE girl in the Dr's Office that asked me if I used Nutrasweet and I did - in my coffee, tea and soft drinks - turns out I have a pretty nasty allergy to that and it makes me sick as a dog if I get too much of it.
I was diagnosed with Type II in May of 2007 - now in my case, I was predisposed and had been borderline since I was 16 - so none of these tests may even amount to nothing in my particular case - but having said all of that -
I am probably one of the very few diabetics that doesn't have a constant battle with sweets - because I just never developed that particular thing - I guess because I was raised knowing it was lurking just at the surface so I'd always go the polar opposite direction and the shit STILL got me!
I can do Splenda - but Nutrisweet flat can fuck you up!
