It is possible to have tea without sugar and without honey. as a teenager I took 3 spoons of the stuff but I converted to zero in one go! - as a T2 no sugar/honey this will be much better for you!
BTW quoting the benefits of honey from a honey sales site is not the best reference :wink:
As for your toes - sorry, can't help. See your GP.

I'm sure destiny means eat these in preference to the 'white'/processed versions. The low-carbers on here, of which there are many, will say you shouldn't eat any rice, bread or flour (well maybe a teeny weeny bit if you really must). :wink:

I would advise you to see a podiatrist asap (get a referral from your doctor) DON"T IGNORE YOUR FEET! I lost a nail on my big toe, which has happened a few times over the last 5 years, but this time I got an infection, but didn't really notice as it didn't hurt. By the time I realised that I had a problem, my toe was swollen, deep purple in colour, and "squishy". I felt really ill, and on going to the doctor was sent straight to the hospital, where my big toe was removed as an emergency operation. Apparently if it had been left a few more hours, I could have lost my foot, or even half a leg! I am now keeping a very careful eye on my other big toe, and have taken control of my high sugar levels by using insulin in stead of tablets - recommended by he diabetic team in the hospital, who were most supportive, and went through all the options with me. I now realise that there is a whole load of support available, and no need to worry about bothering people - they would rather be "bothered" than have you end up in my situation. Good luck :thumbup:
