I grew up on a farm in the country in Virginia. I live in Pennsylvania now. My parents and my Mum's family live in Virginia. I enjoy reading. I make patterns and do beadwork. I have fibromyalgia. I want to start listening to podcasts. I like Marc Maron's podcast. I like to watch youtube. I am afraid of getting addicted to pain pills so stick with otc pain meds. my grandma had diabetes and had a seizure on my 7th birthday.
I am from Florida. I live in Florida. I am going to move to Tennessee in the spring. I plan to share a 2-bedroom apartment with my friend in Tennessee. I love chocolate chip cookies, Flipz pretzels, gummy bears, chocolate cake, and anything sweet. I have diabetes. I use a dexcom to manage my diabetes. I have to give myself insulin shots. I like Marc Maron's podcasts. I like shorter podcasts and like Rhett and Link.
Do you cook or bake with any sorts of special ingredients to manage your diabetes? I have experimented with coconut and almond flour in the past for "healthier" baking. I am trying to follow a keto diet to eliminate sugar and keep my carbs low. So I've been using both those flours and stevia as a sweetener because I LOVE sweets. Have you heard of monkfruit? I have heard it but I haven't tried it yet. Ok. I was wondering if it's healthier than stevia or not. Is there a type of sweetener made of coconut, if you know? I don't really like stevia. I think it has a bad aftertaste. So I should try monkfruit. There is something called coconut sugar. I see. Have you tried coconut sugar yet, then? Yes it is very good but it has the same glycemic index as regular sugar so it is not healthy! Uh oh. It always seems like there's so much to know! I wonder if honey is good for diabetics - seems like everyone's been talking about manuka honey these days. Honey is really healthy overall but it has a high glycemic index too! Diabetes is really tough for sweets lovers! Wow, yes I guess so. Well, maybe the monkfruit will work out. Anyway, have you and your friend started preparing for the big move? Yep, I've started giving stuff away so I have less to pack!
