Too long a story to post at once so... cut to the chase! I have ordered both FoK books and they should be here today or tomorrow! I am SO excited!!! Since I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia about 25 years ago it has always medically been stated that CARBS are basically all bad~ even complex, especially simple ones! So for the last 25 years (or so and between all this also tried the Atkins Diet) I have avoided them pretty much. Okay... about 3 years ago, I felt "funny", went to the doctor & was told I was T2 diabetic. And put me on medication. It hasn't helped. My latest doc put me on the South Beach Diet. Hasn't helped, in fact, has made my numbers worse. Day before yesterday morning fasting sugar was a smidge over 400. Yeah. I was looking for movies on Netflix & came across Forks Over Knives. Watching it for the 3rd time now. I need to change my thinking, and am, after all of the years of avoiding potatoes, oatmeal, etc. What a revolution! I am hoping that this will be the end of drugs! Doctors have said if not for the fact I have high blood sugar, I'd be normal. Hmmmm.... I am so happy to have found you!
