I joke that I don’t work for the patient, I work for the insurance company. It’s partially true, but I also work for the pharmaceutical companies. When I tell patients this, they know I’m joking and laugh, but I think everyone’s tired of this.

Good for glycemic control, HDL, triglycerides, weight control, and blood pressure. Low carb literally reverses the symptoms of metabolic syndrome. So why take a pill for every ill?

"What would you tell any newly diagnosed diabetic?"

I’ll leave that up to the real Florida mans. I will be the first to admit, I moved here as an adult 😂

My daughter is 8 and is already outgrowing her squirrel launcher video phase. Me, on the other hand, cannot get enough 🤣 youtu.be/cAd3ALa--gg?si…

Most sugar-free sweets are not really sugar-free! Sorbitol & maltitol raise blood sugar. Sorbitol mostly converts to fructose, maltitol to glucose. Cause bloating, diarrhea too. And they are less sweet than sugar, so it takes more to get the same sweetness.
