    Xylitol

    I find liquid Stevia to be an excellent sweetener. Just 2 or 3 drops will sweeten a drink with no strange taste. I use it with the juice of one lemon. Hate the powder version of it though. Reading on line Stevia is supposed to be good for our health. Elaine

    Feet moisturisers?

    Lanolin. Also Castor oil is great for dry cracked skin on feet or hands. A little goes a long way with either product. Get both from NOW Elaine

    Glucose Reading Going UP!

    I do think you are right on about the addiction. Before I was diagnosed I was totally addicted to popcorn with a ton of butter and salt and ripple chips or fish and chips covered with vinegar. Lol. Now I still make a bit of popcorn once a week for a home movie but I have to be extra vigilant...

    I have read quite a bit about M lowering blood sugar, clearing arteries and such. If I did not have to smoke it I would maybe be interested in the health benefits only. The re relational product is not for that purpose of course. Lol

    Hello from Canada

    I am 5'6" and 65kg. Part of my problem is that I do not get enough exercise, especially in winter. Just keep putting it off and then the day is gone. Will probably do better on Lantus as the NPH at night peaks and I go low once in a while. May need a bit more of the new one though. Will soon...

    Hello from Canada

    Yes, we had a great Christmas. I have seen on the news several times how the coast is getting such horrendous weather. Just amazing. Hopefully it will settle down now. At least here when it snows we can still get around. Much colder here though of course. Thanks for the welcome. Elaine

    Hello from Canada

    Yes, here where I am they say 2500 (500 x 5) is the maximum. My nurse tells me 2000 is enough and the other 500 does me no good. Dr says take it? I do a low carb most of the time but every now and then I have blown it with food I absolutely know is bad for me. My doc says I am not under...
