Neither is beneficial for someone with diabetes. After my husband struggled with type 2 for years, I realized that it was unrealistic to expect him to go it alone and joined him in going low-carb.

So - I'm sold, and I look closely at ingredients now. What surprised me was what had HFCS in it. Soda? Sure, makes sense. But Pickles? Ketchup?
