now that they have all the new sweeteners to take the place of sugar it isn't as hard to avoid the sweets, for me. I am diabetic and I have more trouble with carbs then sweets. I moved from white breads and pastas to wheat and white potatoes to yams. Once you get used to the food changes it isn't too bad.

My husband is diabetic; once he got used to the adjustments in his diet he's kept his blood sugars down pretty good. He's just been having trouble with his feet hurting. Even a ball of lint in his socks make them sore.
