Diet soda: Nope, both are same.

Question 2

i drink a tad over 1 glass of wine (6 ounces)most nights of the week. i also have ifg. will the wine help or hurt my fight against preventing diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, the answer: depends on how much you are able to eliminate other carbohydrates from your diet. A 6 ounce glass of wine contains about 150 calories and 5 grams of carbohydrate. This is certainly manageable and will not adversely affect your efforts in diabetes prevention as long as you keep other carbs in check. Dry wines have lower sugar content: pinot noir, pinot blanc, sauvignon blanc. Salut!

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Diet and diabetes: Sometimes certain foods will theoretically delay the onset of type 2 diabetes but this is poorly understood and more hypothetical. Foods containing brewers yeast contain chromium and can be useful as an example. More preventive information is available from:
