I tried a coffee with splenda. One pack was about equal to the sugar I take.
It's not perfect, but i could get used to it.

Without the “sugar spike” and the possible long term detrimental effects.

Actually I need to revisit the whole sugar thing.
First, I need to get more Berberine. Then i need to look at my sweet intake. It's my one weakness and I know it is bad, I consume about 1/4 of the sweets i used to 2 years ago.. but i think i need to get rid of them altogether.
for me, the self control is in the shopping aisle, not at home.
My mother likes to have the odd treat. I think I am going to just get enough for her.
I am doing everything else right.. I should do this as well.

Problem being canadahealthy in most cases “if they are in the pantry then they will find their way into the mouth”
The best scenario is that they never leave the Supermarket Shelves..
Willpower and abstinence is really tested at 8 or 9pm when comfortable in front of the TV… it’s far harder to drive to the Supermarket then as opposed to walk to the pantry..

I hear ya. Having it in the house, even if for someone else is a huge temptation.
I usually reach for sweets when i feel stressed. I don't find crunching a carrot does me much good.
But in the last few weeks I have been running right before lunch. That usually sweeps the stress hormonal artifacts out of my blood stream and i have a feeling of contentment. Then the cravings are often gone for the day.

I have heard horror stories about aspartame,but only in an anecdotal sense.
I do know this, i know a lot of very large (obese people) who drink lots of diet coke with aspartame. So it must interact with insulin in a negative way just like sugar.
Sacharin also has a reputation as being carcinogenic.
For that reason I wouldn't use either as substitute.
