Soy Yogurt may help control type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure

11-13-2006 @5:07PM POOT--> said... "It seems that enzymes in the yogurt help regulate blood sugar levels. This could be good news to the 15 million Americans and 150 million people around the world with type 2 diabetes."

If people got off their fat a$$es and exercised, it would have more beneficial influence on regulating blood sugar levels.

People are just lazy and are looking for the easy way out all the time; there is no need for these types functional foods, at all.

Personally I would love to delete your comment, but I am highly enjoying all the people tell you that you are an uneducated idiot.

If you would like to come and train me in excercises that will help me lose weight that will not harm my feet and fingers due to the neuralgia from said Diabetes, I would be glad to exercise more often.

If you don't want to help, than I suggest you keep your mouth shut about people with serious health problems.

There are two kinds of people, those who help and those who hurt, which kind of person are you? Be well, Monica

You're obviously ignorant to the side effects of many medications that cause diabetics to gain weight. There are other reasons for weight gain, but I suggest you walk a mile in a diabetic's life before you make such stupid remarks. Sometimes just not gaining any more weight is a remarkable feat. Maybe my first sentence should have just been... You're obviously ignorant.

I am a newly diagnosed type II diabetic....and by the way, to the clown who said for us to get off our a----, lot to what you say, except you have no idea that meds and yes, INSULIN , injected, makes one put weight on as well. But I think your point is valid, we need to exercise and maybe I needed to hear that again ....thank you. Please advise about the splenda, can we diabetics eat that soy yogurt with 26 grams of sugar??? or only splenda type yogurt? Thanks everyone. God Bless us all.
