What’s a girl to do, I don’t care for chocolate and can’t tolerate the tannin in red wine (actually, wine in general doesn’t agree with me since they started sulfite to white wines.)

Until you see the price of strawberries this time of year. Speaking from experience, that is nothing compared to the expense of diabetes. My meds without insurance exceeded $700 per month for a pre-Insulin treatment a few years back.

This article is about reducing the risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
If you have type 2 diabetes these foods may or may not be good for your intake. Check with a doctor who is familiar with type 2 diabetes. - Tom

'This is because any health benefit from the flavonoids would be dramatically outweighed by the calories in the chocolate and the alcohol in the wine.' As usual, what they give with the title, they take away with the closing.
This is my most recent indulgence. I brew it half and half with my morning coffee.

I read a somewhat recent wine article that the industry was lowering sulfites to address the issue, but it was causing shelf-life (as in "taste" changes) problems.
Can't remember if it specified red or white.

Chocolate and a good Cabernet. Two of my favorite treats.

Even more important than adding in foods such as chocolate and red wine, is eliminating the number of calories one takes in at all, and increasing the amount of exercise one gets. The biggest controllable risk factor for adult-onset diabetes is being overweight. People at risk of obesity, and therefore also of diabetes, are not as likely to benefit from the anti-oxidant properties of chocolate (only dark chocolate is shown to have any benefits for anyone, so eating a candy bar doesn’t count), as they are to benefit from exercise and improved diet.

Try the California chardonnays like Edna Valley and others from the Sonoma area. They generally do not have the sulfites like the French and Washington chardonnays do.

If you are relatively sedentary, and you eat a pile of carbohydrates at every meal, chocolate and red wine will not save you. You have to get out of the habit of always having bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, grits, or whatever, three times a day. Just cut that one item from most meals, and you will live longer and better.
I read that before we became “civilized”, we ate about as much sugar in a year as we now eat in one meal.
