The next time you buy a can of peas, read the fine print. Sugar is added to a lot of things now not to make them sicky sweet but to give the appearance that natural plant sugars are there but even more so.

That's what the doctor who prescribed the medicine told me, too. He was wrong, at least for me. That is why he is no longer my doctor. The specialist, whose name I managed after much effort to pry out of him, told me that I probably will never need insulin. Since I am now 74, she may well be right. I hope so. I don't even want to think about insulin. donna Evleth
