Wow, that's great news! I don't know if you were on this thread, but the American Diabetes Association would rather he ate carbs, carbs, & more carbs. (i.e. ignore your lyin' eyes...)

When he first found out he was diabetic we both attended classes on diet for diabetics. Carbs were supposed to be the major part & he has faithfully followed that but I think he won't anymore.

<It's good for busine$$ for the doctors AND MORE funding will be provided to the American Diabetes Association IF they have ALOT of people with the problem. Don't you see, it's a win win for both by having people NOT address the ROOT problem. People are their LAST concern.

No one disputes the dramatic impact a low carb diet has on type 2 diabetics' blood sugar.

The ADA is just so stuck on the Fat-Will-Kill-You dogma that they would rather your blood sugar levels were 50 or more points higher than watch you eat bacon and eggs for breakfast.
