Question Diabetes

It is interesting that statistics show that a very large number of people have diabetes (1 or 2) and yet there are very few stores that actually recognize this and have food cooked, baked or grilled for the high number of diabetics.
Go to the bakeries and everything is loaded with sugar, (e.g.Fresh Farms) with maybe one product without sugar. It is another case of a business missing an opportunity. Some try to fool the buyer with "low fat" claims, etc.
When there are attempts at providing something without sugar they use "molitol" which again is a poor excuse for kidding the buyer. If someone looks hard they may see a very few products using "Splenda" but these are very far and few inbetween.
