Stevia is the best bet. From the research I've done, it seems to not spike insulin at all. Of course, it's way expensive comparatively.

Artificial sweeteners don't spike your blood sugar but they do cause an insulin response. To be honest, if you are eating carbs, you would probably never notice as that effect is much larger.
After I went meat only, I had to cut out all AS because it would cause me to release insulin, which lowered my blood sugar and would make me dizzy and sick to my stomach. I had been a huge Diet Pepsi addict, basically since aspartame was invented. I haven't had any since early September and haven't really missed it. I only drink plain water and seltzer water now and my blood sugar is rock solid.
