Watch out for HFCS, because it's hidden in most products, including lots of breads.
I'm a Type II Diabetic, they found out when I was brought home from the WTC incident, and had a CBC and a chest x-ray.
If you can, have an Hemoglobin A1C test done by your doctor, on a regular basis as well. That will give you an average of your blood glucose for a 3 month period. An alternative would be to monitor your blood glucose using a standard meter, or purchasing a home A1C test. Using the US standards, your blood glucose should produce an A1C of as close to 6 as possible. Doing the A1C means you're not subjecting yourself to the less precise and more frequent blood sugar tests that I do every morning, lunch, dinner, and bedtime.
