Top 5 sugar alternatives that won’t spike your insulin levels | Dr. Kikie Gardner MRCGP, DRCOG, MBBS

Are you looking for a way to satisfy your sweet tooth without causing a rapid rise in your blood sugar levels? Discover the top 5 sugar alternatives that are not only delicious but also won't send your insulin levels on a rollercoaster ride.

1. Stevia: A natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia plant, Stevia offers a calorie-free and zero-glycemic-index alternative to sugar. It's perfect for those watching their blood sugar levels or trying to reduce their calorie intake.

2. Monk Fruit: Monk fruit extract contains natural compounds called microsites, which provide sweetness without affecting blood sugar levels. It's an excellent choice for people with diabetes or those following a low-carb diet.

3. Erythritol: A sugar alcohol with a low glycemic index, erythritol tastes similar to sugar but doesn't lead to spikes in blood sugar or insulin. It's also easy on the digestive system, making it a great sugar substitute for many.

4. Xylitol: Xylitol is another sugar alcohol that provides sweetness without causing insulin spikes. It's often used in sugar-free gum and dental products because it doesn't promote tooth decay.

5. Allulose: This rare sugar occurs naturally in small quantities in certain fruits. It has minimal effects on blood sugar and insulin levels and offers a taste profile very close to that of sugar.
