    Fennel seeds - a miracle cure?

    It isn't fennel that is reputed to help control blood sugar levels, it is fenugreek, and you are supposed to chew the leaves, not use the seeds. Unfortunately, it tastes disgusting and if you eat enough of the stuff to make a difference, and it will only be a very small difference, your breath...

    Hot feet?

    I also have the hot and itchy feet problem, soaking them for 5 or 10 minutes in bowl of really cold water gives a lot of relief which lasts for hours. I don't know if it's diabetes related either since I also have other chronic conditions, but since so many of us diabetics have this symptom in...
