    nooo way!!!(on the mc donalds thing) yea starch will do that too you (potatoes and such) but MSG and abused animal meat will kill you and that’s what mc donalds is and that’s why some people become a diabetic. (from eating that stuff) so I say make your own meat or ask for no speacial souce(the thing that makes you come back and want more,more,and more)on your brgers.sigh over all stay away from perservatives and artificial addictives and you should be fine:)anyways I hoped I helped friend :)

    No way!I like feeling like I don’t have it so a diabetic accessory is not what’s on my Christmas list if you know what Im mean.I just know what to eat and not to eat, when to take insulin and when not too.I just don’t want to lose some thing on account of me being dumb or lazy or unaware of what I have to do.I kind of figured out diabetes.Not be rude but in another vid I saw you eating Mc Donalds and that’s why your blood can spike uncontrollably as well.I hoped I helped you friend :)
