Things we have learned about Diabetes this week

1. There are many vitamins and prescription drugs that will cause your blood glucose to become elevated. There are three that Jed has been taking: Niacin, Fish Oil and Beta Blockers(high blood pressure meds).

2. Splenda is NOT a complete sugar substitute.(k, that one is my fault for not reading the package) It is a mix of sugar and the fake stuff...but it does taste pretty good in homemade doughnuts!

3. The Diabetic drug that the Dr. put Jed can also be used for weight loss patients. Apparently it decreases appetite quite a bit.
