The people I know with diabetes who tend to rely on industrial medications (prescription drugs) tens to never improve their long term...

    Eating in the right order?

    But that's not how it works. The idea isn't to delay the carbs turning to glucose it's to slow it down so the glucose is created over a longer period of time therefore not spiking.

    Eating in the right order?

    No difference whatsoever! I don't really eat high carb meals so much so maybe it only works if you do. Little experiment ended.

    Back again

    You're not the first and won't be the last to fall off that wagon! Remember this disease kills you one limb or organ at a time. Last time I fell is a few years back and those high sugars worked away at my nerves quietly. Every high reading means some damage is going on somewhere. With me it was...
