As far as the beef jerkey being healthy... I don't think so... unless it is homemade stuff even then... Alot of preservatives and extra crap they throw in that stuff you know...


As for being healthy for diabetics, it really depends on what is in it and what kind of diabetic you are.


Hypo or Hyper...

It only has 2g of sugar. I think it's a winner.

I'm tired of eating on the road. It's hard enough just to eat right out here and even harder to find some you like that's healthy.

My doctor said if it tastes good, you can't have it. :(

Yeah those doctors will tell you alot of things.

To quote Shawshank Redemption though.

Sugar is a killer. Too much and it makes me shake and I also get tired, really tired.

Go to a clinic and have a nurse check your glucose level. It's free normally.
