What brand of turmeric is best for a diabetic?

@hopeful33250 If you have mentioned it I forget, what part of the country are you from? I do enjoy NH for many of it’s benefits — mountains, seashore, and close to Boston — but it does get darned cold here in mid-winter and when a snowstorm with that heavy wet snow brings down power lines and we go without for a few days I become a crazy person, not very pleasant! We need to take rides at intervals because the car is warm and we can go Dunkin Donuts for hot coffee.

@retiredteacher It’s good to have pride in our roots. I may live in NH now but I am a proud “proper Bostonian” with roots that go pretty far back. I think my grandfather must have been one of the first Irishmen to graduate from Harvard Medical — in the 1800s. Doctors were so different back then, they really cared about their patients.

Hi @contentandwell
I live in SE Michigan, about 35 miles NE of Detroit. Our weather can be cold and snowy but we don't usually get hit with the heavy storms that you folks get in your part of the U.S. This part of Michigan is a little boring, you have to drive several hours to see mountains - of course we are surrounded by the Great Lakes and the upper peninsula of Michigan is beautiful. I do like the changes in seasons, fall is beautiful here.
One of the biggest advantages of where I live is that we are within a 1/2 hour drive of Canada and that is a great country. During the spring/summer/fall the Stratford Festival plays are wonder and Niagara-on-the-Falls has the Shaw Festival. Both locations are in Ontario and are a quick drive and you can see some marvelous plays by good performers. The towns themselves are very quaint with good restaurants, great shops to walk through and just a very nice ambience. (As you can see, I'm sold on Canada!)

Part of my family is from the South and the other side is from Canada - so I get the best of both worlds (especially in terms of food)! My grandmother, who was Canadian, used to make the most wonderful Apricot Pie - most folks have never heard of Apricot Pie.

@hopeful33250 Canada is nice, we have been to a small ski area outside of Montreal (Morin Heights), Niagra Falls, and driven through a more rural area when going to my husband’s daughter at Michigan State. One Christmas she had some of her college friends come here for skiing and they were quite impressed with the size of the mountains. We went to Vancouver a few years ago and loved that city. My husband said the only thing wrong with it was that it wasn’t in the United States!

@hopeful33250 Oh my goodness, I love apricots. I presume it must be somewhat like peach pie. Yum.
JK
@contentandwell Yes, similar to peach pie! Yummy!

I am lucky to have been born and raised in the deep Southeast where Southerners are genteel and adhere to the traditions of proper decorum if their family is in that educated and proper group, and I was fortunate that mine was. I had all the advantages and lacked for nothing, so I am so blessed. My husband was transferred to Ohio where we spent eight years, but when my wonderful daddy died, we returned to the South. So I follow the mantra that many proper Southerners do that I was born American but I am Southern by the grace of God.
