Hello everyone! Another week has gone by, and that means that American Diabetes Wholesale has a new edition of our informative newsletter!

This issue’s main story covers something that many people use in their diets, whether they have diabetes or not – sugar substitutes. Naturally, however, this topic is a major concern to diabetics, and the article “Sugar Substitutes” covers the different types of artificial sweeteners such as saccharine, sucralose, and aspartame.

American Diabetes Wholesale’s Product Spotlight goes in tangent with the main article, and covers our Sugar Substitutes category of diabetic products. We carry many different types of artificial sweeteners, which can be used for baking, a tasty drink mix, or just to sweeten up a cup of tea or coffee in the morning. Check out a few of our selections from DiabetiSweet Original Sugar Substitute to EZ-Sweetz Liquid Sucralose Sweetener to our new Stevita Spoonable Stevia Sweetener.

This week’s recipe is one for those who love to cook – Angela Tustin’s Smoked Duck and Candied Ginger Salad. It requires a bit more prep and cooking time compared to some of our earlier featured recipes, but the results will knock your socks off!
