All the farmers I know live a long time unless they have a pint of Jack Black after dinner. I think you have discovered the secret!
And it is also true that drug companies are making a pile off diabetics. I just got a letter from Medicare that said they would not pay for monitor strips. You need another insurance company to cover those.
There is more and more information on plants that will support diabetes as well as or better than the drugs: cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, blueberries., kale, artichoke, asparagas! I bet you have those in your garden right now! I have a few blueberries to go in now, but my plan is to make a whole hedge of them. its hard to find the heirloom varieties though, and I bet those are the one's that have the best ingredients. Of course you have the magic Hawaiian stuff that wont even grow here.
