[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1910193, member: 401801"] Glad that's one worry less! For some reason my bloodpressure is low, while with metabolic syndrome (the combo of diabetes T2, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, high cholesterol) it's supposed to be high. It really is the luck of the genetic draw eh. I just put emphasis on cholesterol because recently I got a bit of a stern talking to about one of my welcome-messages from a new member... Because "everyone knows" what eating fat does to cholesterol. (As it turns out, recent studies proved "what everyone knows" about fat & cholesterol wrong, but I still felt a bit like I was treated like a deranged, dangerous idiot). Oh, and about sweeteners; that's another luck-of-the-draw things. Some people get a reaction in bloodsugars, some don't, which is, again, where testing comes in handy. For me, my bloodsugars were fine using them, but then I used them so much (30 to 50 doses a day in bucketloads of tea, and of course diet coke) they killed off my gut-bacteria. Was in agony for a month and a half before I found out what the problem was. So water isn't such a bad idea. ;) [/QUOTE]
