Which only works if I don't pour Agave syrup like it's going out of style :lol:
Really, a little sugar isn't the devil but it definitely adds up fast. I have not tried Agave syrup because it's still far too high for my blood sugar, but that doesn't mean others with diabetes can't use it. Test, test and test!
And I don't know about you all, but I stick myself enough times at the sewing machine to check my blood sugar several times a day. I had to be careful not to donate a whole lot of DNA to my MIL this Christmas. :oops:
