Same problem. Stevia will not work; I don't know about aspartame or
saccarin, since I don't know anything about their syruping qualities. (The
object is to make a syrup, and stevia doesn't 'syrup'.

For diabetics, you might experiment with adding small amounts of flavored
vinegars to water (if you want the electrolyte balancing effect) or simply
putting fresh mint or balm leaves in with the water in the cooler.
