I technically had gestational diabetes with DS [yeah, it was pretty much a bum rap - I had a bad day or something because even when I went carb crazy I never had any problems].

I tried mixing half and half b/c there was no way the diet thing was happening and I could manage to swallow that but barely. I ended up cutting back rather than switching.

As for milk... We do 1% for everyone but babies. I still *prefer* 2% and it's like getting a treat. Skim - can't do it.
