• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I saw some Greek yogurt in the store and this was listed as an ingredient, presumably in lieu of sugar. Does anyone use this sweetener? Is it safe for diabetics? I'm prediabetic but I still don't like to eat yogurt with too much sugar - the less, the merrier. Stevia works ok for me, but I was wondering about agave nectar too.

No! It is not safe for diabetics any more than high fructose corn syrup is. In fact, it contains more fructose than corn syrup does. Stick with stevia.
