Reply to comment by Internal-Car8922 in TIFU (actually TMIFU) and had to sit out Christmas dinner. by Internal-Car8922

Please do not give this a go if you already have high blood pressure. Baking soda = sodium bicarbonate. You do not want additional sodium if you’re already hypertensive and especially not when you’re in a fragile state.

Oh. Yeah. I'll stick to the cherries. They really are the best thing I've found for it too. I'm just lucky they can be found year round now. Wasn't always the case!

Thanks for bringing that up because you mentioned in your post that you feel you can eat “as many cherries as you want”. I’m not sure if that’s correct. Although one of the safer fruits for diabetes, you should still be taken them in in moderation!

My doctor has said I'm allowed to eat as many blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cherries and grapes as I want. But then, I'm pre-diabetic, not diabetic. If I become fully diabetic, that may change, but it looks like as long as I behave, that is not likely to happen. This month was a lesson in consequences that accompany misbehaving.
