So this whole low-carb thing about diabetes is driving me crazy.
As I said myself recently, when struggling to control your blood sugar, the more carbs, the more struggle.

This week, my inbox contained pitches for everything from silver-laced footwear to a free annual membership in the American Sleep Association.
