13. Never heard of it

But give it a try. It might work for you.

Some stuff, it's individual tolerances to things, anyway. Watermelon always makes my blood sugar soar. My likewise diabetic mother can eat watermelon all day, and her blood sugar doesn't take a hit. I can eat spoonfuls of peanut butter for lunch--no hit. My mother has a teaspoon of it, and her blood sugar is off the charts.

So all you an do is try out a modest portion, say 1/2 a cup of it. If it works for you, then it does.

The weird thing that works for me is a modest amount of agave sweetener a few times a week. As in whatever amount is in a recommended serving (1/3 cup) of NadaMoo vegan ice cream. If my blood sugar reacts badly to a new med, I eat some NadaMoo vanilla, and my blood sugar often stabilizes or even goes down.

Go figure.
