I made sure to do this just once I found something that would activate the yeast and rise the dough without it having to be sugar/honey. It worked with yacon Syrup, which technically is 24g sugar (fructose) but having inulin it also has a GI of 1 so seemed like the best option with the least...

I'm giving Zero Carb a go - has anyone else tried it? I am experimenting with it as my BG has gone up a bit recently due to arthritis pain. This is day 3 and so far it has been pretty easy - my BG dropped considerably the first two days but has bounced back up a bit today. I know there are...
