with high blood sugar...awhile back, my brother ended up in the hospital with a bg of 888+. He got it under control and lowered his carb intake for about a month and then started eating a lot of junk again...my sister just got a call from her doctor that he needed to see her ASAP because she had an abnormal glucose tolerance reading. she had started watching her carbohydrate intake as well and then started eating junk, too...I sent both of them (as well as my parents) the article on diabetes that was posted here (though I think an 80/10/10 thing might be too strict for some people) High blood sugar runs in my family, and I feel blessed that I was showing a way to eat to get my weight under control and to prevent me from ever getting that. For awhile, my siblings followed raw foods, (upon my suggestion but couldn't handle all the cleansing and toxins that were being depleted. It seemed just too much to them) and my mom has considered it (she asked for the address of the Rawsome Cafe in Tempe AZ since she's flying there tomorrow) ...so I'm praying, hoping, keeping faith that the whole family will switch over to this. My brother is back on Atkins right now, but his blood sugar is still at 586 and he can't figure out what's causing it. I told him to send me a menu, and I'll see if I can pinpoint it...and then I will suggest raw foods to him before Atkins (being that he really, really, really wants to be vegan and has been trying)
