Hi Nancy,

 NB> have found  NB>> that the HFCS does seem to make my numbers not as
 NB> good... or rather,  NB>> that reducing that intake does make the
 NB> numbers acceptable... ;)

 RH> I try not to have any kind of diet soda more than once, maybe twice a
 RH> week. If I have them more than that, and especially on consecutive
 RH> days, my numbers start to creep up.

 NB> Yeah, I've heard of that phenomena... seen it with MJ, but in her case
 NB> the stevia didn't seem to do that to her...

It's mostly because not all the diet sodas I drink have the stevia in
them. The non stevia drinks are worse for the b/g than the stevia ones.


 RH> One good thing about this trip--our son in law was diagnosed as pre
 RH> diabetic a couple of months ago. He bought a b/g test kit but needed
 RH> some coaching on how to effectively use it. I was able to do that, also
 RH> give him some diet pointers and encouragement. He's revamped his
 RH> eating, started to get serious about working out, etc and has dropped
 RH> some weight so his b/g numbers are improving. I think his next A1C will
 RH> be better.

 NB> He might be able to control things just with diet and exercise... :)

He's hoping to, but his mom is diabetic so he knows it's in the family.
He just wants to keep on the good side of the line as long as he can.

 NB>  RH>> Best commercial one we've had is called Southern Supreme. Last
 NB> year  RH>> we got the last one a Fresh Market (upscale grocery store)
 NB> had,
 NB>  RH>> never got a chance to get to Raleigh to look for one this year.
 NB>  RH>> They're a bit pricey but they taste better than any other
 NB> commercial  RH>> fruitcake I've had.
 NB>  NB>> They don't seem to make it into the groceries around here...
 NB> probably  NB>> because we are a little farther from the south....  ;)

 RH> I don't think they get above the Mason-Dixon line. We'll have to try
 RH> to get some this fall & send it to you. In the mean time, Steve's mom
 RH> said she'd send us some of her home made, which is very much like the
 RH> Southern Supreme.

 NB> If you do, I'm sure we'd appreciate it... :)

Trade you for a Wegman's fruit cake? Steve's mom sent up a couple she'd
made this past Christmas, also some cookies.


 NB>  NB>> We did see the Claxton again this year, but there were also the
 RH>                ********
 RH> GAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 NB> They're pretty ubiquitous... ;)  Didn't buy any, just noticed them...
 NB> ;)

I think I saw some as well, and tried to avoid them. None fell into my
buggy tho.


 NB>  NB>> ones that Wegmans makes themselves, so we bought a couple of the
 NB>  NB>> Wegmans ones over the season... little loaves...  One has been
 NB>  NB>> eaten, the other remains for eating soon...  :)

 RH> How are they, more fruit and nuts than cake or vice versa? The
 RH> Southern Supreme ones are more of the fruit and nuts than cake type.

 NB> These are mostly fruit and nuts, mostly whole... and just enough cake
 NB> to hold it together, especially if one doesn't try to slice it too
 NB> thinly... :)

OK, like what my MIL makes or the Southern Supreme. We'll have to do
some trading, come fall.

Catch you later,
