Hah-"misplaced eyebrows"-I'll have to remember that!

I prefer my anchovies unsalted too.  Like you, being diabetic and suffering
from "metabolic syndrome", too much salt isn't a good thing.  But if you have
them once a month, it isn't going to hurt anything.

I'm struggling with higher blood sugar than normal (if there is such a thing)
since I was put on Niaspan (extended release niacin) for anti-lipid treatment.
A side effect of that particular preperation of niacin causes high blood sugar
and I've been waking up in the morning with 300+. :/

Here's a recipe I just found.  I mentioned it to my wife, who is a true garlic
aficionado, so we might make it one of these days.  It claims it's "diabetic",
but with the dumplings in it, I'd be hard-pressed to call it truly
diabetic-friendly...
