I have had type one diabetes since I was four years old. I am now 14. I actually take a few nutritional advantages from having it because I have to watch what I eat more than most other people do. I used to find it a little hard to stay balanced energy wise on the course because the exercise does not always have the same exact effect on my blood sugar. I have since had a more consistent amount of carbohydrate intake day by day, and I have noticed less ups and downs on the course. My goal is to be one of the top players on tour. If Scott Verplank can do it, so can I!!!!!!

Very cool! For some reason I need a fair bit to get it sweet enough

That dang sweet tooth in me.

Thanks for commenting Monica!

I have used Stevia for over 15 years. You can bake with it too.
I only use half a packet for cereal as that is all it needs.
Also have a Stevia live plant that if I want something sweet I just pick a leaf
off of it. Verrrry sweet.

This is something that I’ve thought a lot about lately. I too am a fanatic about at least trying to eat and stay healthy. I’ve given up drinking soda (after years of at least three cans a day), and I’m eating a lot more vegetables than I ever have before.

I actually was just thinking about the sugar topic recently. I do drink sweet tea quite a bit. I love it! I make it myself with the pure cain sugar you buy in the stores. I’m wondering if this is a real no-no? I’ve always heard that real sugar is much better than the artificial stuff like Equal and Sweet ‘N Low? Will drinking sweet tea have similar adverse effects just as soda can/will?

Also, when I’m in the store, what are the code words on labels used for processed and refined sugars? I look at the labels and don’t know half of what’s in it?
