G'day G'day Folks,

In New Zealand it is the season where chokos are plentiful. Now
these vegetables are excellent for T2 diabetics because they have such
low levels of carbohydrate that they don't bump up blood glucose
significantly.

Truth to tell, I mentioned them on a diabetes support group. Now
people are asking about them in the US and frankly I don't know where
one can obtain them there.

Can someone please help.

If only 1% of American diabetics wanted to know that would be 160 000
people.
