I have used this as a sugar substitute, because, although I am not diabetic
my sugar levels have been observed to get higher than the doctors like (up
to 11.4 mmol/L)
Well, I have an excessively sweet tooth and when I indulge in the stevia too
much, I seem to get 'unable' or at least 'not feel like' sex!

If I cut back, not a problem anymore.

Has anyone else (man or woman) experienced this?
thanks

this is a known side affect to Stevia

enough Stevia, and the affect can become permanent

this is why Stevia is banned in the EU market

Not diabetic? With numbers like that you are diabetic!

Hi David

Finding a better sweetener is not all you need to be doing
I'm afraid.

Right now you are worried about not getting the urge. You
may not be aware that one of the possible male complications
of uncontrolled diabetes can be erectile dysfunction.

I think you need to read this, or your doctor does,
particularly the bit that says "Casual PG > or = 11.1 mmol/L
+ symptoms of diabetes". If your lack of diagnosis is based
on a lack of symptoms, then I'm afraid that's only a matter
of time if you're regularly seeing over 11mmol(200mg/dl)-
and I'd suggest early intervention is wise.

http://www.diabetes.ca/cpg2003/chapt...ofdiabetes.htm

"FPG > or = 7.0 mmol/L
Fasting = no caloric intake for at least 8 hours
or
Casual PG > or = 11.1 mmol/L + symptoms of diabetes
Casual = any time of the day, without regard to the interval
since the last meal

Classic symptoms of diabetes = polyuria, polydipsia and
unexplained weight loss

or
2hPG in a 75-g OGTT >11.1 mmol/L
A confirmatory laboratory glucose test (an FPG, casual PG,
or a 2hPG in a 75-g OGTT) must be done in all cases on
another day in the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia
accompanied by acute metabolic decompensation."

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Stevia has the well known side effect of making "your thang not work".
So does diabetes, and with an 11.4, you're diabetic. Sorry to break the
news.

Thanks all
1. No more Stevia
2. My fasting sugar level is below 6.0, the lowest it got on the meter was
3.4, the doctor is keeping an eye on it and giving me annual tests.

I think it would be a good idea for you to invest in a BG Test
meter and test periodically to keep track of your blood
glucose levels. It is important that you catch and start to
control this thing as early as possible. By the standards of my
doctor and medical care, you would already be being treated
as a diabetic, diet & exercise with meds if necessary.
