It should be interesting to hear from those of you out there living in areas with greater air pollution. Once more environmental factors not under your control account for part of your diabetic problem. More and more I believe we need to look at external environmental factors along with internal personal health factors when dealing with prevention and cure of diabetes.View Thread

"One of the most celebrated properties of agave is its profile on the glycemic index, a scale that measures how much various foods raise blood sugar levels. Agave ranks lower than many other sweeteners on the glycemic index. As a result, some manufacturers tout it as a "diabetic friendly" sugar. But, according to Clemens, "there is inconsistent evidence to assign a glycemic value to any food, and it should not be used as a green light for diabetics."
In fact, the American Diabetes Association lists agave along with other sweeteners (table sugar, honey, brown sugar, molasses, fructose, maple sugar, and confectioner's sugar) that should be limited in diabetic diets."View Thread
