Well, this is good news for two friends of mine - one my age, and one young adult - who have type 1 diabetes. Jim, the guy who's my age, has already lost a leg to diabetes, and is worried about the other one....I've known him since we were kids, and I hate to see this happening to him. My other friend, Chris, is your 'typical' young guy who's not too clued in to his body and what he needs to do to optimise his health - he still smokes, for instance. Aaargh!!!

As for me, who is (am?) faced with adult onset diabetes if I'm not careful ..... I'd rather low carb!
