The Blame Game is useful only in that one can teach younger people to do some things better. My sister, for instance, continues to be free of diabetes. She has now equaled the age of the youngest diabetic in my extended family with no sign of it, so this is GREAT! The biggest problem those in my family have with food is a tendency to eat when anxious and if you can control THAT, you are well on your way to prevent eventual diabetes.
Alamo, for a lot of T2's, just losing weight if you are overweight will help to reset the blood sugar. Doesn't make you non-diabetic, but will help with control for a long time. Yes, you can do it with fruit and vegetables and low calorie, but let's face it, most of us HAVE done that and long term success failed. I didn't get fat on fruit and vegetables, I got fat on bread and potatoes (ok, and maybe a few desserts). Now, this is really generalized. What do you do if you STILL have blood sugar issues and you are normal weight? Well, that's where you look for other options. LCHF works for lots of those folks, but clearly not all of our board members. I have LADA so will always be on insulin, but as I loose weight, hopefully less.
