[QUOTE="nomoredonuts, post: 1372837, member: 271833"] Today marks the day that I made changes to diet and lifestyle in a bid to undo the damage inflicted on my body by a sneaky silent saccharine foe. How I am seen by family and friends changed in a subtle way. Well meaning advice like "this is for life, you know", was offered unbidden. I began to see eyes glazing over when I explained how I was eating fat to lower my blood sugar. When, after six months, I announced astounding results, instead of congratulations I got cautions - "but is this diet doing longterm damage?". It's a tough old journey, but I console myself that for 99% of my life I have eaten and drunk as I pleased. It isn't a great sacrifice to have restrictions from here on, when the reward is better health. I thank my many friends on here who have made the journey with me. [/QUOTE]
