Aspartame is an artificial sweetener prescribed to diabetic persons.
Diabetic persons need to manage their blood sugar levels. Glucose, Sucrose (table sugar), and Maltose are all types of sugars that significantly increase blood sugar. Artificial sweeteners like Aspartame provide sweetness with minimal or no calories and do not raise blood sugar levels, making them suitable alternatives for diabetics.
Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener made of two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. It is much sweeter than sugar. Other common artificial sweeteners include Saccharin, Sucralose, Stevia, and Neotame.
