It does not. Which is weird b/c it does other nutrients even down to Vitamin K.

I am diabetic. It does not list sugar because your crab count is what matters. Carbs break down into sugar. Your crab total covers all your sugar.

I am also a diabetic and I do not use it for sugar. I count three things, carbs, calories and fiber. As S. Nelson indicated, carbs break down into sugar.

No sugar content but any sugar substitutes are just as bad considering most of the time your body doesn't know how to process it.

No. It has the same number of calories as any other sugar. My understanding is that it has less of a glycemic impact.

Yes, I did not even know this. When I brought it with me to my first doctors appointment with a diabetes specialist, she downloaded it right away and had a print out chart of testing that i did over the past several months. I was amazed.

The expiration date is for the strips. From my experience, just a day after the expiry date, the meter would not read the sugar levels from the strips. Confirm with accuchek if you can.

I bought a box of packets on amazon and use it every day. I'm looking at the back of a packet. It says Cal 0, Total Fat 0g, Total Carb <1g, Sugars <1g, Protein 0g.

YOU DO NOT NEED ANY MORE OF THIS than you would of sugar. I am not a nutritionist, but have read that in general, sugar and coconut sugar have lower GI's than agave, honey, rice syrup, etc... the latter we usually tout as "healthier" are actually NOT AND CONTAIN WAY MORE FRUCTOSE... an underrecongnized digestive problem for some.

My husband drinks it and he has type 2 diabetes. It has done great things for his Blood sugar levels! Of course, now I guess I better have his kidneys checked...

Not unless you purchase it separately. I think its about another $69. I didn't get it but have no trouble controlling the sugar without it. It would be nice to have but not absolutely necessary.

No, this product contains erythritol, sugar, monk fruit extract, and molasses. Monk fruit extract is only a small portion of its ingredients. Not recommended for diabetics.

That is a good question which I have not investigated nor compared the sugar content to other brands. I do know that the company states that they use coconuts from a certain area of the Philippines which are the sweetest: "Our coconuts are harvested from the prized Nakorn Pathom province, where they grow larger and taste sweeter than from any other region in the world." It is also a large can (16.2 oz)and contains quite a bit of coconut meat and has 2 gm of fiber. I certainly hope that they are not adding sugar on the sly! You might want to contact the company to discuss this. If you find out, please left us know. I am pre-diabetic and am trying to keep my sugar consumption down.

I'm not using it for sugar so I don't know the answer to that. I have Tupperware canisters for my sugar. Sorry

Short answer is YES! Long answer is you might have to experiment with how many pkgs to use to suit your own tastes. I must say I have now been a long time user of Stevia in the Raw and I couldn't feel better since I began using it. I am pre diabetic and it has balanced my sugar out so much that I no longer have to use my diabetes pills. It is a GREAT product. However that endorse only goes for the Raw kind. Hope this has helped. Rose

From the package "ADDS A TRIVAL AMOUNT OF SUGAR". I would suggest to go to their web site for additional information!

From the ingredients in the product obviously, whether that's sugars (glucose, fructose, surcrose etc) or starches. Just because it says sugar doesn't always mean the same sugar that is table sugar. It's Carbohydrate. So it can be any carbohydrate, simple or complex.
