A few days ago there was a post regarding chocolate............I think Marshall sent it. Apparently there is some research suggesting that chocolate can protect the heart because of something called procyanidin. Before everyone rushes out to get their chocolate make sure it does not have any sugar in it!!!From what I have heard it is pretty yucky stuff. And chocolate with sugar can be the cause of many problems.....guaranteed...among them diabetes...which in turn can cause heart problems, kidney problems, eye problems feet problems etc etc......
I am pleased to report that my 3 month blood sugar test which was 7.2 a year ago (7 being maximum recommended) 6.9 in September and with 6 weeks off of sugar it is down to 5.8! Kidney test went from 15 maximum acceptable level but down from 30 a year ago) to 5.5......I hope the other diabetics on the list are having success with whatever they are doing to get there diabetes under control. It is nice to feel like I have this monster off my back.........Also my eyes have improved! BEST WISHES TO ALL FOR A HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!!! Joanne
