My endocrinologist does not say that, though.

I am a type 2 and a relatively new one (2 years I think) so there is
probably a lot I could stand to learn.

Sorry I got caught in the crossfire.
I admit to liking Susan's take on things for the most part.

I have quite a few books and have been reading them. My endo tells me all
