Thoughts in baking

[Kaylz]

I want to do some baking but as I don't like sweetener I was just wondering if any of you guys have used honey instead?

Honey is just another form of sugar (fructose).
How many sweeteners have you tried? Splenda(or the supermarket versions) are designed for baking. Erythritol is pretty good as a replacement, but does carry a strange taste effect. The trouble is that sugar caramelises during baking and produces the brown crust.
Stick to sugar and reduce your portion size (you can of course inject for it, luckily)

I've not tried any lately as I've never liked the taste of sweetener so I'm just not going to bother wasting my money x

I once used honey as I was out of sweetener. It worked really well & didn't cause much of a spike either.

Great thanks for that Mark, I much prefer the taste of honey 🙂 x

Well depends on the particular type of honey what it tastes like - what flowers the bees have fed from.

As a T1, you need to calculate the carbs for it same as all the other ingredients anyway and jab accordingly.
