    I was hoping you would mention using Dates and other fruits as sweeteners. I make my own date paste that is used as a sweetener for putting in hot cereals and in some of the unbaked goodies I make. This is a great alternative especially for diabetics. The fiber content is also very beneficial.

      Blood sugar levels are supposed to fluctuate, especially when we are going through the process of insulin sensitivity. Most common things that throws the blood sugar, is cortisol (while you sleep) and how your liver is now cleaning and processing sugars, and switching your engines from sugar burning mode to fat burning mode. Give it time and consistency! For support, I'd recommend our Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules, take two servings per day for maximum blood sugar support. -LGD Team

    If simple fractions are too much math, then such a person has something they should be working on. Everyone should be able to add fractions or convert ratios. That's not just math, it's a basic life skill.
