    I would agree with your doctor that pot is better.

    What I take are gummies with 30 units of CBD and 0 THC..
    They work famously.. I don't get a buzz or get high but get lots of painkiller..........
    I buy them at our local cannabis store... I get 30 gummies in a package for just under $10.00 which isn't expensive.. The effect of a gummy lasts for almost 6 hours and doesn't cause constipation or stomach upset..

    My wife is a diabetic and she takes Ozempic.. It is a good thing to keep her blood sugar under control;. It works great and she doesn't worry about her readings as they are always perfect......
    Naturally she watches what she eats but she can still indulge in something and still have good numbers..

    For me and I don't deal with diabetes, about 11 yrs ago I totally eliminated breads from my home and I know it was the best thing to do. Cookies and cakes too and Gluten for the most part.

    do any of you use low carb tortillas ? Many many years ago, went low carb..60 a day. That was the Thing then ,but to strict for me. My eating is nothing as it was years ago. I do have a thing for breads, good ones. I can live without light breads if need be. Anyway trying to revamp how we eat without be overly strict.

    I have used the low-carb tortillas, and they seem about the same to me as the regular ones, as far as how they taste and holding up for making a taco or enchilada.

    To me bread is dead food and to hear so many say over years, they love bread, can't live without it. We can live with a LOT if we decide to.

    As a snack I just had 1/2 can tuna, chopped avocado in it and some mayo, no bread and this was probably 6 spoons of good food. Satisfied my little void for now.
