JEI discuss diabetes at alt.support.diabetes. Wear your asbestos suit, but
JEthere are enough people posting interesting things to make it worthwhile.

T1 or T2 ?

Do you find gardening tasks (pulling weeds, cutting grass, etc.)
provide enough "work activity" to noticebly lower your postprandail
spikes?

Stay young, OldAck.

T2 and the way I lower my post prandial spikes is by keeping carbs low.
Gardening is nowhere near enough exercise to do it, even though I have a
large garden and a very large lawn that I tend to baby.

i've got T2 and i found that maybe most of my problems that was being
blamed on diabetes was wheat/gluten intollerance. the only grain i can
eat through trial and error process is whole grain rice, i also cut
out nearly all those type carbohydrates and boosted my food income to
more protein type diet with lots of fresh in season vegetables.

i have excellebt control and minimum drugs, from poor control and the
doc's adding more and more drugs.

With peace and brightest of blessings,

Carbohydrates are carbohydrates. Potatoes with the skin is better than
mashed and a fresh apple is better than applesauce but carbs are carbs.
