..make us fat, but it's the sugar/carbs that make us fat"? Also, I just heard a video that said ALL foods turn to sugar, and wondered if what he was meaning was that ALL foods turn into energy?

I have been type 1 diabetic for 6 years now and I want to take control back of my life. I have been depressed for 5 years and this has had a major impact o n my overall sugars. To say I have had good control would be a joke, I've been terrible. I want to finally have control over them and get...
