Welcome to the board! I was also a "posting virgin" until I ran into this Web site. It's wonderful, isn't it? Great folks and lots of great ideas and support. I'm certainly enjoying being part of this online community.

I'm not glucose-intolerant, but, judging by the rest of my family, I WILL be if I don't eat low-carb. My sister and mother are both diabetic, and my maternal grandfather died of it (30 years ago, when treatment was a lot more primitive than it is now). I was watching myself gain weight like my mother did when she was my age, and thinking: "uh-uh, not me." So I'm definitely low-carbing for health, as well as aiming for a lovely svelte me!
