Wow, thank you, Charmaine! I clicked on the thread expecting stuff like "nuts, crackers with peanut butter", etc., but these recipes sound awesome! My dad's a diabetic who loves sweets, so I'm sure he'll enjoy this!

If you ever want me to help you with raw foods I will Charm.
There is a lot one can do with raw food to balance out hormonal/glandular issues.
The pancreas/insulin producer is a gland.

Thanks Ami.

I have tried and experimented with many diets.It's about finding which one suits the individual best.One diet might work for one person and not for another.

Diet does work wonders as well as exercise.I have noticed stress affects my blood sugar levels drastically so maybe that is the problem.
