<br>I Found out I was Diabetic in 2004.
<br>#1 Pet Peeve: People who are afraid of sugar free items.
<br>#2 Pet Peeve: People who think all sugar free items taste bad because they tried one piece of thier grandparents diabetic candy 10-20 years ago.
<br>#3 Pet Peeve: People who say they eat healthy when their menu contains lots of butter, potatoes & sugar.
<br>#4 Pet Peeve: People who rate other people's reciepes low just because they do not like that person.
<br>#5 Pet Peeve: People who post Diabetic reciepes that still use up to 1/2 a cup of regular sugar. I mean, HELLO; That sugar will still spike Blood Gloucose Levels!!!!
