I'm pre-diabetic. Been using olive oil for years, TRYING to watch what I eat, like trying to stay away from anemic foods. Like white bread, white rice, white potatoes etc. My Pancreas was going bananas - I was hungry as a starved lion after I finished a full course meal. Finally put a stop to that with a herbal supplement, Diabetic Support Pack you can find at your drug store in the herbal area. I also take an extra cinnamon capsul daily also. Do you know that cinnamon is a great balance for your insulin levels. Now if I can only get motivated to exercise.
