"The Daibetis" runs in both sides of my family and been watching my blood sugar for a while. One of the biggest changes I made to my diet that I noticed the most drastic change from.........quit drinking soda (and eating high fructose corn syrup in general). Soda was a beech, that stuff is addictive and horrible for you. One day at the shop I drank 4 of those 1 liters of mountain dew, fell asleep a few times at the wheel on the way home then checked my blood sugar.....and it was around 400. Quit drinking soda since then (very rarely will i drink one like if the restaurant only has soda or tap water, and still have the occasional piece of candy, etc) and never really had another problem like that.

I think soda (or maybe the high fructose corn sizzurp) causes diabetes personally.
