If I recall correctly, elk is a Type 2 diabetic. Type 2 diabetics have to watch their sugar intake, and honey is pretty much pure sugar, like any other syrup. A pie, on the other hand, has much less sugar in it, as there is the dough and the fruit meat, neither of which have nearly as much sugar as a syrup, and can be sweetened further by the use of nonsugar sweeteners -- like the kinds that you find in little packets for your coffee.
I think that the amount of sugar that one can eat varies from person to person, but it seems to be that the less sugar a Type 2 diabetics eats, the easier it is to manage the condition -- unlike Type 1, Type 2 management focuses more on diet and exercise than insulin.
All this stuff being said, this is pretty much speculation on my part. I "specialize" in Type 1 stuffage, not Type 2.
Elk! Educate us!

Ah okay that makes sense I think but it still seems like the other stuff would have a lot of sugar too? But maybe not as high a concentration of it like in the honey? Maybe it’s also processed/digested slower and doesn’t spike it as fast like straight sugar would? And I think if I remember right he sometimes uses substitutions? It just confused me because like in my mind surely a whole pie slice would be worse than a little dab of honey “theoretically” but I forgot the honey is like pure and digested fast and stuff.

Elk, I am genuinely curious and want to understand this, not trying to be rude by saying this so hopefully it doesn’t come across that way, but you have said before that you cannot have honey, correct? But you can have pies and ice cream? Do you make a low sugar version of the pie or something? Substitute it? I am just curious because it seems like that would be a lot more sugar than a little honey? But maybe not? I am just very confused.

Honey is pure sugar and nothing but sugar. The food that I make is a reduced sugar version. The amount that I eat at any one time is a reduced amount.

Starting at post #73, anyone wanna give an opinion on what the sex of my Chickie's are? Each of the five have their own post.

Oh and @R2elk my omage to your mad skills is post #81 on page 9 of the above thread link.

And here's a cute little bug for you as well.... This breed has become quite accepting of me over the last decade at our houses.

This has already been established, I am not a Virgo. Today is not my birthday. Check my profile page. There is no birthday listed. I do not actually exist and am nothing more than a figment of your imagination.

Seriously this is @sealer39 trying to cause trouble. It is not my birthday. When my birthday actually happens, no one will know. I don't do birthdays and have not for many decades.

Just a "fig newton" of someones igmagination, better dunk yer cookie before that milk sours on the bed post over night.

I have seen pictures of those but none in person.

There are people that keep praying mantises as pets.

No cookies here either literally or figuratively. I am a sour old man and nothing is going to change that. There isn't much that is more disgusting than milk even before it sours but sour milk really helps some recipes.

The spinners, we have at least 3 around the house currently. As for mantis, around a 6-12 at any one time.... Be they green or brownish.... Very kewl to know folks have them as pets but, I like having them page our yard.... When I see them and they see me slowly approach, they very willingly climb onboard.... And usually the older ones start to look for what direction I'm taking them....

That makes sense! Thank you! I guess I didn’t realize at first because of the quantity or whatever but I guess the difference is in the concentration of the sugar? Honey probably has way more even smaller amounts. Although doesnt ice cream have a lot of not really?

I was actually referring to the other person who posted to you And I obviously blinked too long and didn't realize I'd clicked on your posting...... Not theirs..... I should goto bed now. G-nite all
