Sorry you are having such a time contacting the company. I probably will not be making anything with the whey low until Oct when I make a cheesecake for my daughter's birthday. I don't use it in my tea and don't drink coffee. I have never used Ste...

Dori, Thank you for your offer but at this time, I must decline. If Viva Lac cannot bother to respond to my inquiries [plural] why should I bother trying their product? Perhaps you can provide me with your 2-3 hr glucose levels after consuming Whe...

You may want to try the packets of Sweet Leaf Stevia. It has no aftertaste and is sold in health food stores.

Susan, There is a link regarding diabetes studies on their website. I am not sure if you can get a sample or not. If you would like to message me with your address I would be more than happy to send you a couple of packets. http://www.wheylow.com...

I like stevia except it increases my BG which I find surprising. So does agave syrup which is supposed to be low glycemic. Odd. Perhaps a pinch of unrefined sugar would be better. I'll compare.

You're definitely right about that. There's no use getting all bent out of shape because of your condition. If anything, getting diabetes has really put my life back into perspective.

Thanks, man. Keep up your hard work with your diet and exercise, haha. You don't want to have to wind up on insulin. It's not that bad once you get used to it, but it's still pretty annoying. But I've only had diabetes for about a month, so maybe it gets less annoying over time, haha.

hey, good to have you as a friend. keep working hard and you'll be walking around for a long time. i'll tell you, 27 years haven;t been easy but with a good support system it's a little more tolerable. the Philippines seem so far away but it's comforting to know we have this site to all get together and find common ground!
