Abstract

The objective of this study was to comprehensively and scientifically evaluate the relationship between sucralose, a popular artificial sweetener, and the rise and fall of blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. This paper adopts the literature research method and integrates a large number of relevant authoritative literature to explore the possible effects of sucralose on diabetes patients in two aspects: long-term and short-term. Although the safety of sucralose is widely recognized, this study focuses on its potential effects on insulin sensitivity. The results of this study point to the importance of the dose of sucralose intake in diabetic patients and look forward to further research on the metabolism of sucralose.
