I think I may have a slight allergic reaction to Saccharine and Aspartame makes me feel weak and want to use the restroom, almost as a laxative affect.
What brands have you experienced to be overall better in cooking/taste/preference?

So far so good, love the info and retaining every bit of it, thanks guys.
I sure was looking for alternatives, I do seem to cook and try to find desserts and ways to keep this diabetic happy. All of you deserve a "Bestie" but I think stars are in order.

Aspartame makes you retain water at the joints which can cause swelling and can be very painful. There is a sugar that is from Columbia but can be found at most health food stores called, Stevia. This has no side effects and is 100% natural, that is, it has NO SUGAR nevertheless it is surprisingly sweet. This can be used for anything including cooking and baking. It is greatly recommended for diabetics or people who want to loose weight. If I were you Id try it out!

I prefer Splenda, but most artifical sweeteners will have the laxitive effect if used by people who have sensitivity to them or even people who don't but just eat too much of a sugar free treat. In fact, I go to weight watchers, and they have sugar free fruit candies- sort of like gummy life savers, and there is a warning on the package that says: excess consumption may have a mild laxative effect. They contain aspartame.

Look into agave syrup. It's 4 times sweeter than sugar and has no effect on glycemic index. Just google it - if you like sugar in your coffee or tea nothing beats this! No aftertaste, no chemicals. This is an amazing product!
