I saw the dietician yesterday. Most of what she said was the sort of common sense that if I'd followed it for the last 49 years, might have kept me from the diagnosis of diabetes. The thing is, I just got my hands on a book written by a long time Type 1 diabetic that advocates removing all grain products, starchy vegetables, fruit and milk from the diet, in order to achieve strict control of blood sugar at the 90mg/dl level around the clock, which blocks most if not all of the known complications of diabetes. I want to live long enough to be published, and I know what happened to my mother, with her diabetes.
