Gee, I wish low-carb would fix MY eyesight. . . I've been wearing glasses since I was 13, can't deal with contact lenses. On the other hand, I certainly don't envy Debbie her diabetes. I'm glad low-carb is helping her. My family is very prone to diabetes (parents on both sides, grandparent on one side that I know of, plus my sister - yikes!) and I am determined, insofar as possible, to stave it off.

For some reason the topic of eyesight reminds me....has anybody noticed that low-carb seems to do wonders for your TEETH? It seems to me that my gums are much healthier, my teeth seem cleaner, and I don't get 'fuzzy stuff' on my tongue since I started Atkins in October. Another benefit of low-carb!
