Processed carbohydrates are addictive, brain study suggests

FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.

P.S. Let your doctor know first before you try psyllium. You don't want to learn what hypoglycemia feels like by surprise.

"It was found, both doses of psyllium significantly lowered fasting blood glucose, compared to placebo at treatment weeks 4, 8, and 12. Psyllium at a dose of 6.8 g BID significantly lowered HbA1c at week 8, compared to placebo, and at week 12, both the 3.4 g dose and the 6.8 g dose of psyllium significantly lowered HbA1c, compared to placebo."

Does the publication define "significantly"?

My wife is Type II, does everything she can (diet and exercise) but she' still on Humalog insulin and metformin.

Any details would be appreciated.

I wonder if the doctors push exercise as much as they push eating right.
Just wondering.
