I am a pretty good Diabetic for the most part - I am not as food driven as many of them you meet - and I don't hide things like they don't exist - waiting for a leg to be cut off - I like my legs too damn much for all that - I pay for it, no one else does.  |
the FDA has a number for each sweetener of which is the acceptable daily intake. i'm sure you're within it as i would think its probably quite high.
its not easy being a diabetic. its a sugar, white bread, white pasta world out there but its better for all of us to not eat that stuff. i've heard of people dedicating 28 hours a week to just managing it but its better than the alternative, like you said, losing a leg or worse. improperly managed (or not managed at all) diabetes can be a killer that few talk about.
