Thanks for checking on me Thomas! Hope all is well with you too!

I was wondering whether you were OK too, and was looking you up to send a private message when I saw you had posted a few minutes ago. Glad you're doing well. Sounds like the whole family is.
The good thing about LC is that you can do it, cook appetizing food, and the rest of your family can supplement what they eat if they want. They want toast? No problem for you. Ditto, rice or pasta. It's not like you're making boneless skinless chicken breasts sprayed with Pam or anything.
Lordy, I hate BSCBs. But I digress.
Glad you're well! I agree with you about how ignorant we are about diabetes and related matters (me, I caught it at the insulin resistance stage, but ten years too late). Why, a decade ago, when my blood pressure was up, my hdl was down, and my waistline was expanding, no-one said "wait, these are classic symptoms of insulin resistance and bigger problems down the road ...". Instead, I did my best to follow the standard LF/GC/EL/EM advice and I suffered for ten years with mood swings, osteoarthritis, surgery, insomnia, cravings and weight gain. It was only when I put my foot down, said NO to statins, got bloody angry, and researched like a maniac that I discovered that LC might work. And it has. But what of the people who can't figure out we here have discovered?
Anyway, glad you're still with us, Patina. Love your posts -- tell us what you're thinking!
