Question:

From O'Fallon, Missouri, USA:

How do the sugar substitutes break down?

Answer:

Artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose are processed by your body without affecting blood sugars. Byproducts from these sweeteners are harmlessly broken down and eliminated from your body. Artificial sweeteners are safe for people with diabetes to consume.
