Well, I've found another sugar-free product that I can enjoy despite my inability to taste artificial sweeteners past the first bite/sip: sugar-free Jell-O. With no unpleasant taste needing masking (as with most diet sodas), when I stop tasting the sucralose the flavor just gets faint, not BAD.
OTOH, I started looking at sugar-free candies today too, and discovered "sugar alcohols" that supposedly Don't Count. Forgive me for not believing the packaging or what I've found online quite yet, I'm gonna bring the matter up at my next appointment at the Diabetes Center this week.
Finally, you know those paper strips with little candy dots on 'em? An entire strip is only 8g of sugar...sure, they're almost pure sucrose, but with the fairly tiny portion size and labor-intensive means of consumption, it makes 'em good snacky food. The mental impression of spending time eating without actually eating much. :)
