@ScienceAlert "In mice", but I use #OliveOil, a lot, and have had quarts of #olives as a major component of my weekly #diet, from meals to snacking.

I have a mid-year #health checkup Thursday so I'm very interested to see what my #A1C level is because I've returned to a more regular diet, including bread, wine, and lower-sugar desserts, since my last checkup in January when my level was 5.5.

I've been on 10/1,000 #Synjardy, from 5/1,000, since then.
