Hello Debi and Pastorbob,
Welcome Debi to the forumn. I also have siblings that are both type 2 diabectic. Me and my sister has finally got my twin brother on Atkins and he is now seeing his sugar level drop. He is a minister and he loves fast foods. But now he is watching his carb and finally losing weight.

Pastorbob, You are right about once a diabetic always a diabetic.
I was on of the lucky ones who caught it before it did any damage. I will now always have to watch my diet and weight. My sister is now off insulin but still on medication. She still take two 500 mg. glucphase a day but her doctor today said if she keep up with her weight loss than in a month it will be only one.
She has been a diabetic since the age of 25. I was diagnosised 3 years ago. But diabetes run on both sides of my family.

Well sorry being so long winded and wish both of you a very wonderful evening.

Donna
