Fiber Supplement

I hope you can find something you like. In the past year I've been sauteing shredded cabbage (the kind you find in a bag for making cole slaw) with some some onions. It's filling and tasty and blends...

Fiber Supplement

If you're baking something, you could add wheat bran. I buy Bob's Red Mill at the supermarket. Sometimes it's in the baking/spice aisle or the 'organic' foods aisle. It's a good source of fiber. Flax...

Age, stress, and depression

That's true, especially for the feet of a diabetic. To test for neuropathy the doctor may use a small prong to prick the bottom of your foot or a toe. It might be annoying but it's important....

Hi Diane. An endo specializes in the endocrine system and among the several conditions would be diabetes because of the insulin that the pancreas secretes. You will only have a blood test and...
