Update on last post
No longer excited. That 600 calorie diet? It's only for the morbidly obese ...

New research from Diabetes UK - can diet reverse type 2?
Very exciting.
Can a very strict and low calorie diet, whilst under medical supervision, reverse type 2?
An old schoolfriend's uncle did this and no longer has type 2.
I think I'll wait for a little more research, then find out if I'm a likely (meaning likely to succeed) candidate for this.
600 calories per day sounds like a nightmare to me ... but for a few weeks, it's more than worth it.
PLEASE NOTE - DO NOT, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS AT HOME WITHOUT MEDICAL SUPERVISION!!!

Raising Awareness
I'd like to raise awareness of this disease, because I am certain that my late husband had type II. It's just that it wasn't diagnosed.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it?
But looking back with hindsight, it is now very clear to me today that Cliff had even more symptons than I had. The last one being, "every time I eat, I have this bloated uncomfortable feeling" to which I advised, "you need to go to the doctor's".
Oh how I wish I'd known then what I know now ... he'd still be here.
Diabetes, coupled with his high blood pressure. He didn't have a chance.
If he'd been on the DASH diet, he'd still be here.
There are no words for the guilt that I feel.
