Deirdre, thanks for posting about Stan's new blog post! I hadn't checked there in a while. What a good one.
I have tried to explain LC to several Type IIs, but so far, none has been willing to give up the carb addiction. To those nearest and dearest, I will sometimes recall what happened to their relatives who had diabetes and didn't take proper care. Not even telling them about dialysis and amputations, or greater risk of dementia, -- nothing has made a difference.
And all of these Type IIs know I follow Dr. B's plan, and how much it has helped me.
It does seem to be true that we each have our level of "hitting bottom" and seeing the truth of our situation/avoidance/etc.
Dr. B's telling of how he behaved, and car accidents, when his blood sugars were not under control, really got my attention.
Thanks for the reminders to be diligent.
