Theoretically I should be able to reduce my blood sugar levels to near normal levels as well as reducing my insulin levels with diet control.
High blood sugar levels as well as high insulin levels cause some serious organ damage.
In the meantime I'm having a grand old time eating lots and lots of nuts, meat of various kinds, greens, onions, garlic, various manifestations of the cabbage, and so forth. You just can't imagine how great a raw, unripe, hard green pear tastes after several months with no fruit at all!
All tastes are acquired.
Then there's sugar-free Jell-O ~ if I were President I'd give those guys the Presidential Medal of Honor!
