After I hadn't had routine bloodwork for a long time, my HbA1c check shown 6.8 which is diabetic, I hard stopped juices, potatoes, white rice, while flour, sugar and decreased my portions. I discovered an entire universe of various flours and I am still totally unsure which sweetener or not-sugar-sweet-plant is safe to eat but I figure tiny amounts is OK. Dropped to 5.2 in four months so I figure I am on the right track. I still crave desserts hard but you can get desserts sweetened by something other than processed sugars and you can cut them really small and eat just a tiny bite which I found is enough to sate that craving. I am surprised how little all the diabetic advice doesn't emphasize the smaller portions trick both for meals and for desserts.
