Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 > 3 tlbs. maple syrup (for diabetics you can use > " sugar " ...I believe it's sweetened with splenda...maple syrup. ================ The " sugar " should have read sugar " free " maple syrup. You can use that if diabetic. I had to clarify because I can just hear all the diabetics say, " Yea! get the sugar for the veggies. It's good for ya; I just read it on the internet.

It was actually my daughter that said she had read that even when drinking diet beverages (for those that don't know better and are still doing it) just the " taste " of sweet will cause the body to release more insulin. The recipe I got the roasted vegtables from was in Dr. Phil's cook book. Nothing is absolutely perfect, but he has done a lot of work with diabetes and the problems that go with it. When put in the whole picture of a meal that includes protein with a small amount of complex carbs and even smaller amount of fat, the roasted vegetables (made with sugar free maple sugar) does not effect the diabetics' insulins levels. Another thing to realize is the recipe was for eight servings, so that was 3 tlbs. worth of the syrup devided by 8, if you only have one serving. Then, again, there's always the splenda issue. But for the diabetic, heart, high colesteral, high blood pressure and obesity issues, Dr. Phil's program is working very well, which is why I choice if for our particular situation.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 > Doctors still are reluctant to admit hypoglycemia exists > and so there is little or no research on it to find a cure. =================== Jim, People have been in mental institutions only to find out that their problem was none other than hypoglycemia and nothing else! Find a doctor that does believe in it; they are out there. Also, I've read many stories of people who have cured themself of it by diet alone. It does work. Hope you are finding some stability in your life. Take care, Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
