Many grocery stores sell more and more keto friendly foods. However this isn’t true at most restaurants and especially bakeries and ice cream shops.
Why are food pantries so against what people with diabetes need. 90% of what they give out is crap. There are sick people that have limited money and they need nourishment. Instead food pantries waste… read more
I use splenda and stevia for my homemade iced tea or lemonade. When I go to purchase I grab the cheapest one with the most packs. My husband is type 2 and only likes splenda not stevia for his coffee… read more

Common feeling amongst many - "I feel all alone because nobody around me understands"
Well, I'm just kicking back watching the Tampa Bay/Dallas Wildcard Game
For a bit of perspective - statistically there is 7,874 DIABETICS in the stands watching the game live
We are nowhere near alone....
Yes at times I feel all alone
Wonder what people are doing about non-sugar sweeteners
I use both that you mention either alone or in a 50/50 version marketed by a company called Lakanto
They are naturals as opposed to the chemical sweeteners (used in coke etc or sold as sugar twin or… read more
I have begun to bake a lot more to control the desserts I eat (have huge junk food addiction) but the only Splenda brown sugar I have found is small and expensive. Is it ok to use regular or do other use monk fruit brown sugar, regular sugar... please help would like to get a handle on my health and baking at home seems to work but its seems to be no cheaper.
See my previous post. . . . I have found that cutting the sugar and brown sugar by 50% does not take away from the recipe. Don't bother with splenda or Struvia. . . just stick with the originals and… read more
I pretty much just drink water when I walk or work out, Powerade Zero Orange and G2 Purple. Are there other sports drinks I can drink that won't effect my BS?
Coconut sugar is a wonderful sugar replacement. No.furtose related sugar substitutes use it in baking instead of sugar.

I was just doing a bit of reading and tripped over a couple of statistics (Canadian) comparing Diabetics to Non-Diabetics with regards to use of medical services
Depending on the country we live in we make up 10 to 12% of the population
We (should) know that it is uncontrolled diabetes that is likely to take us out, but if we control out blood sugar to near normal levels we alleviate the likelihood of developing complications
These are simply the numbers:
And while we can argue this or that… read more
I have recently experienced higher fasting glucose levels over the course of about 6 weeks. Normally, I am at 80- 120 in the mornings, but lately have been about 140- 160. The only big difference of late, I can pin point is,.. I have been drinking, maybe 1 can of diet sodas with my evening meals. I have also had sinus/ allergy issues about the same time (farmers in the locale are harvesting- kicking up dust & mold). Just trying to get a grip on whether the issue is in the sodas (as my diet has… read more
Beverly,
For god sake, drink the diet soda you so badly covet; in fact, do it once a day or every other day. Just cut volume…

STOP listening to clueless doctors!!
