I talked to a T2 yesterday. He told me he could not put up
with the restrictions, so he went on insulin. Seems to
be working well for him, if you ignore his two artificial
legs and his heart attack. Very dis-hearting. I suspect the
wild BG swings and the insulin itself (too much is toxic) may
be to account. Yikes! Thank you not, I will keep my feet.
I am rather fond of them.
