about "Stevia"
MVR>> ... about "Stevia"
MVR>> Hope it will be fine for use in my diabetic diet.
ws> I think you will be pleasantly pleased, as it is purported to
I'll inform you as soon as I have been able to try how it is usable for me.
ws>  I say this because I'm not familiar with how diabetes is treated in
ws> your part of the world).  I am not in agreement with the accepted
ws> methods that I have been witness to.
I guess diabetes is treated here about the same way as at yours.  I'm treated 
with insuline, self-controle of bloodsuger level and diet with limited 
cabohydrates and calories.  Elderly diabetic people mostly get tablets and 
the advise to reduce suger and fat in their meals.
I can agree with the treatment methods over here, but not all people accept 
that they have to live with limitations for what they may eat or not.
ws> No.  The 'little blue packet' is a chemical that serves as a
ws> sugar substitute for many diabetics here, in U.S.  It is one
ws> of the products considered safe for use by those who must
ws> limit their intake of sugar.  (There is much dispute over it's
ws> reputation, tho.)
All right, I understand know.
MVR>> ... Have you thanked your SysOp today?
ws> Yes... every day.  
Whaaauw, you're grateful to him.....:-)
I'm only thanking him from time to time, otherwise he would be too proud.
