49. I'm so sorry

Mon May 10, 2021, 02:34 PM

May 2021

I'm blessed because my blood sugar went down. I was scared. Can you have diabetic candies?

Your husband loves you and he wants you to be around a long time? Also, can your health provider give you recipes, or check your library for cookbooks for pre-diabetics.? Is there a support group online to see others' experiences with snacks?

I'm also not fond of Greek yogurt. Good luck! I'm sure smart DUers will have some useful input!
