I hope she'll read it. It was Dr. B's book that woke me up to low carb. A friend had been trying to get me to read it, but I thought it was just another fad thing.

Dr. B describes diabetes - mostly T1, but also T2 - so well that even I, a non-scientific type, can actually understand it. Tho I had to read it about 3-4 times to really get it.

But even understanding it doesn't mean one will follow the diet. I've done fairly well until recently when some bad things going on in my life put me into an emotional tailspin. Trying to get back on the horse now - I feel too crappy to keep on this way.
