Mine isn't too bad, now that I've lost weight (235+, down to 175). I've quit sugar and use stevia (Owl's Nest Plantation is the best online source I've found). I also found that cinnamon does help your blood sugar level. I make a "curry" mix of garlic, cinnamon, ginger and tummeric and put it in capsules. Just 4 each night drops my blood sugar by about 20 points on my glucose monitor. In kids, one of the things that are a tip-off for diabetes, is what looks like a dirty neck. One of my students has it. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness and amputations in adults. So lose weight, make up some curry and lay off the sugar! - Granny:hippy:
