[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1512014, member: 150927"] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=4]Fair enough! [/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=4][FONT=Tahoma]63 is way too young to die, for sure. (Re Stephen Furst's of Animal House fame, June death from diabetes complications.) But as he was a spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association I guess he wasn't going on the personal-low-carb chef, personal-trainer route? Being on the blower to Prof Taylor and Dr Mosley, and flying in to Dr Fung? But the poor man had T2D since he was 17 - that is a long road to travel the T2 journey and be uncontrolled for a half of it? for sure. I see he was also a celebrity spokesperson for the American Heart Association too, and involved in Renal Support Network. Apparently he changed his diabetes control tactic about 23 years ago, when he was 40, but it (the wikipedia page) doesn't say how (wikiepedia and the guardian obit). Or what exactly the complication was he died of. I am assuming it was a stroke? Isn't that the main way we die too early from diabetes? Or was it from kidney failure? Anyone know? Back in the day I was not an Animal House fan, not at all, so I can't imagine myself reading 'Confessions of a Couch Potato' - but has anyone else done so? Perhaps it has big hints on the route he took of T2D control? That so sadly did not work. But as it is AHA and ADA supported route I would say it was High Carb Low Fat, focussing on cholesterol as marker of heart risk, and taking insulin perhaps? Argh. Way too young to die.[/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
