 I've not read it, but I'm
 type 1 and diet has nothing to do with me becoming type 1,
 especially since I was only 4 at the time and have never
 struggled with being over-weight. However, I have family
 members who are type 2 and all of them have diabetes from
 weight gain. In general though, sugar is not good for
 anyone, over-weight or otherwise, predisposed to diabetes or
 not. I'm not one to advise to never eat sugar again, but
 definitely in moderation, grin.

 Hello Everyone,
 
 I am new to this list, I have been
 diabetic/Type II  for 20 years (on oral medications) and I
 am currently reading a book that I found very thought
 provoking and worth reading about diabetes medications, the
 ADA, the Pharmaceutical companies and Doctors. My guess is
 that most of you have already read it since it was published
 in 2011. If you are a book reader and did not do so yet,
 here is the info about the book and some additional excerpts
 and ratings:
 
 Title/Author/Year:
 
 Sugar Nation: The Hidden Truth Behind
 America's Deadliest Habit and the Simple Way to Beat It
 by Jeff O'Connell, 2011.
 
 “ … Every five seconds, one more person
 develops diabetes. Worldwide, 285 million people are
 affected by type 2 diabetes. Many of them have no idea. Here
 is the personal story of one man who has unearthed the
 mysteries of this global epidemic and offers hard-won
 practical advice for how readers can take control of their
 lives and combat this deadly... “
 
 “Sugar gave rise to the slave trade; now
 sugar has enslaved us.”

 Enjoy!
 
 Have a great weekend.
