Glad the ALA is working so well for so many of you. I've stopped it, as has Christine, I think. The differing results might be due to the type we are, I suspect Christine and I are "type 1 1/2" the usual path to type 2 is obesity, insulin resistance, and so forth. I was a skinny reasonably fit college student, sudden random bg test and subsequent GTT showed diabetes, I think this is what Dr B talks about, the autoimmune reaction didnt kill all my beta cells. I suspect I have no insulin resistance to speak of, just few cells still working. Anyhow, we grapple with these mysteries of our bodies, all day today I have been so grateful for Dr B.,all the other doctors, "eat starch, take medicine, its progressive, you'll be on insulin one day, never mind the hypos, keep candy in your desk," you've probably been there, done that.
