For Michelle, whose husband has been diagnosed as diabetic: I am a former diabetic. Splenda will not help as much as you think it may. The real culprit (forgive me, KAF) is flour. Your husband can have a SMALL piece of cake and then walk for ten minutes. The walking immediately after eating will lower blood sugar considerably. It will be more effective if he pairs his starch with protein. His bsl levels will also be lower if he has the cake after a meal that contains veggies & protein and no starch. That is how I kept my levels decently, and once I lost weight, the diabetes went away. I still have my cake & eat it too and am healthy now. Hope this helps!
