Uncagrunny summed it up on his first post. It doesn't have to be some complicated. Carbs equal lots of sugar, high fructose corn syrup equals lots of sugar, and then you have your simple sugars. If you consume too much of any of this than your fighting a losing battle, especially if your life is sedentary. Moderation in all things gentleman. A1C's are not a acute measure they are to see which ones of you are telling your doctors the truth about our carb intakes.

Unmanaged, Diabetes of any type will lead to a slow, uncomfortable demise. Drugs will not fix the problem as many of you have witnessed for yourselves. Diet and Exercise, just like the cave men used to do. It's crazy how healthy you become when you actually have to hunt and gather for your food. Humans haven't existed this long because of pharmaceutical companies, that is for sure.
