You can eat most biscuits providing you are aware of the carb content, these actually have 66.7g carbs per 100g and many wouldn't touch them because of that, but...

    vitamin B17 and apricots

    B17 isn't actually a vitamin so it's not likely to be contained in B Vit concoctions. If you have been researching all sides, have you seen this one about Apricot Seeds......? http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/apricot-seed/3

    Was I right to get annoyed.....

    Hi. Welcome to the Forum. Diabetes Insipidus is very different to Diabetes Mellitus which is what this Forum is mainly about.
