Sucralose is linked to insulin resistance in this and other studies. To me that defeats the purpose of avoiding sugar.
Please use a real website, there is nothing wrong w/ sucralose

But so you know, your sugar intake can't affect whether you get GD or not. GD is caused by pregnancy hormones interacting with insulin. Obviously if you HAVE GD, or think you might have it already, you should not eat sugar, but limiting sugar before its onset won't make a difference in whether you get it. (Disregard if you have actually had a doctor tell you something otherwise based on your specific medical condition; I suppose it's possible that there are exceptions to this I am not aware of, but there are so many harmful myths about sugar intake causing diabetes in general that I want to make sure to debunk that for anyone else who happens to be reading this. I talked with so many people with GD who felt guilty or like they had done something wrong or hurt their baby and that's just not how the condition works!)
I didn't get it the first time around, but don't want to tempt fate. It's just so weird to have that be the thing that I can't stand! Last time, it was the smell of cooking meat!

Oh yes - fear the "chemicals"
Didn't have that happen but have you tried other artificial sweeteners? If none work, do you put milk in your tea? I find vanilla almond milk (even the unsweetened type) to be sweeter than regular milk.
Sucralose was my "go-to" because I didn't like any of the others, besides agave.

I tend to use sucralose as my preferred sweetener for tea, etc, but 13 weeks in, it suddenly tastes horrible to me. I didn't have this with my first pregnancy, and due to other health issues, I am concerned with avoiding gestational diabetes. I've been using sugar in small amounts in my tea, but did anyone else have this?
