I am also living with type 1 diabetes for 37 years and discovered stevia this past year. I buy it as a liquid and use only 2 or 3 drops per cup of coffee. Last summer I found the plant at a local nursery, but I was not able to keep it going up here in the Northwest USA. I will try once again this year. It may be that it will need to come indoors for the winter. If I can get it to survive, I should be able to harvest the leaves to create my own tincture. If I succeed, I'll sure let you know.
