I drink iced coffee from Starbucks once or twice a week. My standard order is a grande with two Splendas and 2% milk. I've noticed that by the time I get to the end of my drink I have that shaky and empty feeling that usually means my blood sugar is low. I don't notice any particular sugar/caffeine high while I'm drinking it. I usually sip on it while I'm working at the computer, so it takes about 45 minutes to finish the drink. What could be causing the sugar-crash feeling? Is it all in my head? [more inside]

Can anyone recommend a low/no carb sugar substitute that doesn't taste artificial and have a bitter aftertaste? I've been using Spenda and I kind of hate it - I know some people think it's great, but to me it tastes too sweet and chemical-y. I'm specifically looking for something that I can bake with (like a low carb cheesecake, for example).
