• Diabetics can tolerate sugar, just not significant levels of it since they have to manually admister their own insulin.
  
  So these cookies are for diabetics who can't handle certain portions of regular Oreo cookies because of the amount of sugar AND carbs.
  
  If the Sugar-Free variety removed the sugar and didn't increase the carbs significantly, then a diabetic can eat more of these Oreos than the regular ones.

• Well diabetics cant "safely" eat everything that is sugar free as although refined sugar may not me amongst the ingredients there are still carbs that affect the blood sugar level! Correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe that Sucralose is the only artificial sweetener that doesn't affect the BSL. So the argument that Sugar Free goodies like these Oreos are for diabetics doesn't hold up.....

• As a diabetic, whose favorite cookie is an OREO, I am thrilled this is available. I can have any kind of artificial sweetner. I only have to count the carbs into my daily allowance.
  
  I would not be able to eat OREOS daily, or to excess, but it feels good to know I could have some if I really really wanted to...in moderation.

• As a diabetic I love these. I only eat maybe 2 a day but it is so nice to be able to enjoy my favorite childhood cookie again. These do not elevate my bloodsugar and satisfy my cravings for something sweet.

• I am hypoglycemic, but I control it with a sugar free, monitored carb diet. Since I eat nothing with sugar in it, this is the only way I can have Oreos.

• Don't forget also that people who have gout can't have stuff with a lot of sugar in them due to uric acid level build up. I've got a family history with gout and as long as I avoid the things with sugar or HFCS, I'm generally in the clear. Not quite diabetic, but I still watch what I eat.
