Abstract
Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) can provide strong sweetness in small amounts and have fewer calories compared to sugar. However, there is much debate within the academic community regarding their long-term impact on health. For individuals with diabetes who find it challenging to reduce added sugar intake, limited short-term use of NNS may be considered as a step toward reducing sugar consumption. However, ultimately, it is important to reduce both sugar-containing beverages and those containing NNS. Diabetes educators should educate patients about the need for caution when consuming NNS and provide guidance on healthy food choices.
