MizKitty -
What an inspiring story. I meet people with diabetes and I try to tell them about lowcarbing and what it can do for them, but they have all been brainwashed into high-carb, low fat diets by the medical profession, dieticians, etc and they just won't listen to me.

To me it seems smple: diabetes is a condition where you have a problem metabolising refined carbs, so why not give up the things that are causing you a problem?

It's hopeless here in England - peole are way too brainwahsed.
