Hi Moosha,
Thanks for the blurb, I read it with much interest and at the very bottom of the article, the last paragraph in fact, it had this to say: You CAN Undo the Damage
No matter what your genetic heritage or the environmental insults your genes have survived, you can take steps right now to lower your blood sugar, eliminate the secondary insulin resistance caused by high blood sugars, and start the process that leads back to health. The pages linked here will show you how.

The 5% Club: They Normalized Their Blood Sugar and So Can You
I guess that puts me in the 5% club - the whole point of my diet and my arguments above.
My diet sucks. I don't like it at all. I would willingly make a pig of myself if I could, just as some of you have said they did, using Christmas as an excuse.
However, for me, there is one thing I don't want above all else and to achieve that result, I will do whatever I must to keep my Diabetes under strict control, bearing in mind I'm 66 now and although I don't want to live forever and I certainly don't want to ever be reborn and come back, again....lol....I also want to live into my 80's or 90's if I can and I don't want a Diabetes controlled breakdown of my body and snip, snip and chop, chop as my veins fail and gangrene takes over, leaving me as a body in a wheelchair with nothing else to do, but rely on someone else until my Diabetes finishes me off, once and for all - as I see occasionally, from time to time.
It never ceases to amaze me, how easy it was for me to get my Diabetes under control and to lose weight - on my diet, it just happened. I did not cheat myself and I refused all alcohol and I've never smoked and if someone offers me booze, I say no and I'm a Diabetic, but I have it under control (and if that makes me odd man out, so be it)
It never ceases to amaze me how the majority of you will never face the truth of the simplicity of my diet, or now, this article, which you put up for me to read, also echoes my sentiments exactly - but find excuses about why you don't want to change your habits or lifestyle, because they are ingrained in you and too hard, or you don't want to be seen as different in your peer groups.
What a price to pay, in the long term.
This then is my offer to each and every one of you who don't have your diabetes under control as described in the last paragraph of this article, which has nothing to do with me, is not something I was aware of until Moosha put it up, so the blame - if any - is on him......If you have the balls and the belief in your convictions, join me in the 5% club, either with my diet, or the diet described in this article - I dare each and every one of you.
