Re: Interesting Article Type-2 Diabetes - the Expected Adaption to Overnutrition

makes one wonder if the 'guidelines' set down by
the DA associations are made so that EVERYONE can
easily achieve them.......... a no brainer, just
pray for a good number and we shall survive

on the other hand, i have a neighbour who has been
told by his GP that his morning fasting of 15
(270) is doing very well...... THAT'S BEFORE HE
STARTS EATING FOR THE DAY!

he was very upset when i told him that he can't
drink regular pop ! ! ! that he had to drink diet
pop from now on.............

sigh
