Stevia for diabetics

I was looking for coco sugar last Sunday at the supermarket and I wasn't able to find one. However, as I checked the cardboard displays in the organic products section, I was able to find this box of Stevia sweeteners in convenient packets.

I have already read about how perfect stevia is for diabetics like me as it has no calories at all and has very little effect on one's blood sugar level. It is 3 times sweeter than table sugar and I also found it sweeter than the coco sugar I was using. I used to consume 2 packets of coco sugar for my mug of coffee but I only use packet of stevia.

Stevia is an herb native to Paraguay. However, this Sweet & Fit brand from Glorious Herbs is locally grown so each purchase actually supports our local stevia farmers.

If you're in the Philippines, you can buy this brand at Robinson's Supermarket.

Like Mauie said, it kind of depends where you live. The easiest way for you might be to buy stevia online at netrition.com or Amazon. But if you live in the US you can find stevia packets (Truvia) in your local supermarket.

I would like to tell that this sweetener is really good for health. I have recently found this sweetener at cidbotanicals who are providing it in various flavors and can be used as a sugar substitute.
