Because I am diabetic, I take glyciphage 500 mg, Half tab after each meal. It has kept the sugar level a bit low, but still upto 160 mg. fasting sugar is also high at 146. I do not use added sugar anywhere. Try to avoid food having added sugar. I also take BP medicines. My question is, I use sugar free natural, Sucrolose, for sweetening, tea, coffee, Lemon juice, curd etc. Is sucrolose bad for health? In what way? Does it help in controlling sugar?

You need to increase the dose of your medicine. Avoid artificial sweetners. The will not help to control your blood sugar but they will increase craving for sugar.
