And I’ll tell her that what she’s doing is exactly what took my mom’s life in the worst possible way. A slow, miserable decline over many years, complete with heart attacks, stroke, coronary bypass surgery, depression, and finally dementia and early death. You don’t just go suddenly and painlessly. Watching her slowly wither away has been my motivation to take care of my diabetes and help others as well. Taking care of it really doesn’t have to be difficult, either. Just takes a little common sense, some reading, and a desire to be around a long time for your kids.

As far as that ranter above goes… don’t pay attention to her. She has no clue that healthy diet can be wonderfully delicious and nourishing at the same time. That’s exactly why she’s on insulin and I’m on no medication at all. I suspect that her sugar level must have been very high when she posted that rant.
