Seems just about every thing I ever planted was aimed at sugar
production. Wondering if folks with sugar issues can plant accordingly ?

Need more input.
For me, veggie sources of carbs are less problematic than, say, a Micky D's
bun loaded with HFCS.

If you don't refine your plants' sugar, you'll do fine.

The only thing I quite growing after the onset of
type 2 is potatos, my garden this year consist of:

tomatoes
corn
peas(cowpeas to you yankees)
pinto beans
asian long beans
okra
drum head cabbage
turnips
mustard
buttercrunch lettuce
5 varieties of peppers
crook neck squash
white scalloped squash
zuchinni
carrots
bokchoy

My gardening does reflect my diabetes, in the past
I would have grown 2 80' rows of potatos and
much more corn than I have now.

I have grown stevia in the past,
there is no denying it is sweet,
but it has an edgy metallic taste that
I don't care for.

Like most taste, it is purely subjective
and some of the blends aren't all that bad.

There is a difference between plants as well, and perhaps a difference
with the season.
