Oh Betty, how I can relate. Right after my husband was diagnosed as diabetic (I had been diagnosed years earlier) we found the sugar free Jelly Belly jelly beans. Oh wow, they tasted just like the real thing. We neglected to read the fine print about not eating more than 12 at a time. Besides they were so little, how could they cause trouble.
My, my, how the southern winds did blow that evening. And it was rolling like thunder under the covers. I forget which artificial sweetener was in there, but never again. I have since found out it affects others in the same manner. My children threatened to lock us out of the house until the storm passed.
As for Splenda, I'm like you. Once I get used to it, it takes more and more to satisfy me. Put it in the oatmeal, put in the tea, put it in the cream, put it every where and eat, eat, eat. Aren't you glad you conducted the experiment? Now you know!
