Most of us have our staple drinks, but several of them may well be fooling you with “Sugar-Free” labelling. The U.S. federal government doesn’t care if a company slaps that label on their solution as long as it doesn’t incorporate Table Sugar. This is a terrible law and it should be changed immediately. There are numerous other sugars within the planet that will increase your glucose just as easily because the table sugar and, in some cases, faster.

My boyfriend (a type 2 diabetic), friends, and the campus nurse are convinced I may be diabetic, and so to humor them, I started watching what I ate and drank. I haven’t been formally tested, But I do have a dr. appt. next Friday to check. I’ve started drinking alot of diet coke, and I was wondering, other than the aspartame, is there anything I should be worried about? I know the aspartame is bad for you, but what exactly can it do? Thanks in advance!

My mom is a diabetic and has alot of pain in her feet. She has a sit down job, but her feet hurt her all the time. Her doctor has her on a medicine called Neurotin, but she can only take it at night because she gets so sleepy on it. I know that if she had a better diet it would help her. I also tell her to walk on the treadmill thinking that maybe getting some bloodflow to her feet will help her, but she says that makes them hurt worse and she can barely walk from the driveway to her front door. Does anyone know of some natural things, or even other pain killers, or anything that might help her with her feet. I have heard of diabetics having to get their feet cut off and i do not want it to come to that, please help!
