Thanks Andria. I had no idea about Mary Tyler Moore.
Thank you for explaining it. Although I have had several diabetic friends (type 1) no one ever explained it so well.
I've studied it at some length, because it has gone
thru my family like that grim reaper's scythe, on steroids, and it terrifies me, knowing I have this in my immediate gene pool (my mother's family), AND, I love sugar. So if I want to continue consuming it, it pays me to "understand the enemy." I am *literally* the only person in my immediate family who has not become obese -- and considering I'm currently hovering around 20-ish lbs overweight, I'm a bit nervous!
I eat LOTS of fiber.
And JUST as soon as this wretched humidity declines a bit, I'll be going back to my evening walks. At the moment, with the summer humidity, walking outdoors would be somewhat worse for me than not; it makes breathing very difficult, for an asthmatic.
