I too am a diabetic for 2 years now.It was a strugle for the past year my sugar levels were high even though I watched everything I ate..The first thing I did was a friend gave me a book and I highly reccomened it called " Sugar Busters" a must read book.I was soon to be put on insulin..I asked the doctor to give me 3 months...So I went on line to track everything ( ingredients) in food consumtion.what I found out was shocking....I found a site please check this out the site is as follows 

www.sweetpoison.com there I found the culprit and doctors don't tell you this stuff.My demon was aspertame...I was gaining weight,mood swings,elevated blood pressure,headaches,hair loss by huge amounts,loosing feeling in my legs,sleepy,tired and easily agitated.Well I researched  the website and I elimintaed all products that contain aspertame.My sugar levels were 235 to 300 very high.It has been 3 weeks now since I got off aspertame ,and every morning my sugar levels are 100 - 130 never higher I went off using aspertame of any kind, my hair has stopped falling out,the feeling in my legs are back and no more mood swings and best of all my sugar levels are normal.I use now as my sweetner STEVIA get the soooo lite stevia it taste just like sugar but never raises the sugar level,and it lowers blood pressure.I have in 3 weeks lost 15 lbs and I feel better than I did before being diabteic.Please people always research things NO body knows your body better than you.Please go to the website I have given you and you wil be totally shocked.
