  I’m also diabetic. Lakanto makes a monkfruit sweetener with zero carbs. You can get the white granulat version, golden which is like brown sugar and another one that is a substitute for confectioners sugar. There is no aftertaste like many other sweeteners and I know the white granular version measures cup for cup like regular sugar. I haven’t tried the golden or confectioners yet, but plan to. Monkfruit is also natural, not a chemical sweetener. I order mine online through walmart.com and it gets delivered to my door. Hope this helps for your grandson!
