I recently had coffee with a friend from the local PCA club. He looked quite a bit thinner than I'd seen him in the last few years. He's a big dude, over 6'1" and just big. Never thought of him as fat though. He's also very active and still rows regularly having done so at the college level. He's in his 60's.
What happened? He got a shock at a doc visit a year back with an A1C of 6.6 which is basically diabetic. I'm a type 1 diabetic and diet is constantly on my mind. I recommended this guys books.

He laughed as someone else had done the same and he's read through one or two of them and working to follow his advice. 6 months in his A1C is down to 6.0. He's doing great.
Kudos to all who are working on this. Diabetes is not something to fuch around with. I know, I do it daily. Keep up the great work and don't fret the daily ups and downs or occasional lapses. Slow weight loss with lasting diet and exercise changes is more sustainable.
