This household prefers bitter sweet. Not so cloyingly sweet.

I am really the odd case, since I don't seem to have Syndrome X. I have never even been overweight in my whole life, let alone obese, I did not have hypertension at the time of diagnosis and still don't. Yet the doctors diagnosed diabetes. Go figure. I will certainly agree about the rush to medication. Donna Evleth

I rather like Poulain's 1870 milk chocolate, which is very rich and not excessively sweet. Near the bottom of the list is Hershey's chocolate. I thought that tasted good in the United States, but then I came to Europe and discovered how bad it was.

However, spikes in blood glucose are harmless as long as they aren't too extreme, even in diabetics. A blood glucose of 180 mg/dl isn't going to cause any problems if it's just temporary. There is evidence (last time I read about this, years ago) that anything below 200 mg/dl is unlikely to cause much in the way of complications (this from a study of Hopi Indians, as I recall--they are extremely prone to type 2 diabetes). > My brother died from kidney failure.

If so, how long did he have diabetes before the kidney failure caught up with him? |
