I'm a veteran as were my older brother and my next younger bothers. 17 years ago I was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic. My physician convinced me to switch from following a very low-fat eating plan to Atkins. My brothers were diagnosed with diabetes and went on the ADA recommended eating plan. Both my brothers died from diabetes-related heart attacks. I am now over seven years older than either of them were when they died. My recent blood tests show me to be very healthy (my physician rated my test results as an A). I am convinced that both brothers would be alive today if they had gone on low-carb eating plans and that if I had done the ADA diet I would be dead.
