Thanks @Glink and that makes sense. A lot of the standard information that is out there on diabetes seems to assume a 'classic' and standard pattern in which diabetes is corrolated primarily with being overweight and needing to eat more healthily, and which will therefore respond to efforts on...

@Juicetin I'm interested in the references to cider vinegar here. Do you find that this helps?
