Diabetes & Your Diet

My Story

It wasn't until 1998, AFTER a full year of concluding that I had Type 2 Diabetes, did the doctor at the VA Clinic, in Albuquerque, bother to inform me what I had.

The doctor said that I was borderline - that I could still reverse the diagnosis. I could have spent that year exercising and improving my diet. But he keep the news of my newly acquired disease a secret from me.

I use to be a jock. I easily could have gotten my overweight ass back into a regime to slim down. Yet I'm crazy for great tasting food: Italian, Chinese, Greek, Mexican, Cajun/Creole, Southwest, Hindu Indian.

I know that these last 11 years that I should have read everything I could about diabetes and adapted a diabetic diet. Food that's good for diabetics is good for EVERYONE.
