Hi Les, that does not begin to go far enough if you have several medical

conditions that can or could cause you to become ill and incapable of telling

people what was wrong. Hugs, marilyn

Hey, when I went to the diabetes self management class hey gave us a card

that has places for various things like doctors, dieticians, etc, but on th

efront of it it says:

I HAVE DIABETES

If I am acting stranegly or cannot be awakened,

my blood sugar might be low.

and it goes on with some aditional words...

Well the first thing I thought, and the first thing my wife of 36 years

thought was.....

How can I tell if I/he is acting stranger than normal!

But will they also be low fat ??

Often, when companies make 'Low sugar' or 'Low fat' products, they

add the other to make them still 'acceptable' for consumption.

They feel that Low Fat + Low Sugar = Low Taste + Low Sales.

Something to beware of - READ THE LABELS.
