Am I alone?

I haven't heard that much against Splenda, I have never had any ill effects from it.

Thanks Kim for the info....I sure want healing though.

Stevia should be available in health food stores...don't know anything about what Norway has available though. I've used Stevia, but have a hard time accepting it's unique idea of sweet. And of course we use Splenda and don't NOTICE any problems, but those problems could be very sneaky. If Splenda is activating the pancrease...oh my! Not good at all. It could be what caused my problem. It's only since I've been using Splenda that my blood sugar went up and I've not been able to get it down. I will quit imediately and see if there is an improvement.

Hi, I went to see the doc again today and found out more about cinnamon. He gave me a paper on how a study had been done with cinnamon and not only did it lower sugar levels, the results remained after the test ended.

"Cinnamon seems to have an insulin-like effect in your body. If you have type 2 diabetes (or even if you don't) add cinnamon to your coffee (before brewing) or tea, sprinkle it on your oatmeal or toast, or even add a sprinkle or two to your orange juice. Cinnamon can be used in baking, cinnamon sticks can be used to stir tea or coffee, and cinnamon can be sprinkled on salads, desserts, and other foods. Just a little, used on most days, could have a significant effect on your health. "

So that's pretty good news. And 6 grams of cinnamon is like 1 rounded teaspoon.

So, enjoy the cinnamon, barley and stevia that the Lord provides.


I'm off to the health food store for some stevia too, as I already know that's good for us diabetics.
Here's a website where that study is discussed:

OK, I bought some Stevia to sweeten things with. I was surprized to find out that they sell it in a white powder form and it doesn't have that strong taste it used to have when I got it in the liquid brown form. So I can still put it in tea and make lemonade.

I'll let ya'll know how the sugar levels are tomorrow.

I'll be waiting for the good news!!

Rut, I think she is talking about the color of the sweetener in liquid form. I have never used it, so I am not sure, but I think that is what she is talking about.

Hi Rut
The color of the Stevia when I bought it in a liquid form was brown. The taste was also stronger. The Stevia I bought the other day is white powder and tastes better.

I think I will have to be more careful when I post. It seems that the translation is getting confusing.

God bless you!

Hi everyone,

So glad to find this thread. I was diagnosed with type II 4 years ago. Currently taking Glucophage and Actos, my levels have been doing well. Slowly but surely losing the weight.

Found a website awhile ago that has some great recipes. It's: DiabeticGourmet.com

Hi Curlylocks!!! Welcome!

I was diagnosed in 2003, and hasve taken some weight off slowly. It didn't go on overnight, it won't come off overnight. My numbers are getting better since i've started taking Glucophage. I don't walk every day, but about twice a week, I get around my MH park.

No lasting complications just the occational low blood sugar and the frustration with the numbers.
