BOOKS AS A REFERENCE

In the last several years more and more people are finding out that there is tons of type 2 information out there. There are web sites, books, programs at work and school and of course the health reports on television. You would think that with all the information out there that people would pay attention. We didn't. Despite having a medicine cabinet full of test kits we really didn't think that we were susceptible to it. As it turned out we weren't, but my sister, Cathy, nearly died from ignoring her health She ended up in the hospital for about 10 days while a nasty sore was healing. She had ignored the sore, thinking it would go away, and it just got worse. According to the doctors she was a day or so away from death We were all in shock. But Cathy never paid any attention to the symptoms or to her general health. What a mistake! Now she is a fanatic. She keeps on her diet. She exercises and has lost about 80 pounds. There is a growing chance that she will be able to stop taking the insulin and stop testing herself. She said she will know in about 6 months. In the meantime, Tara and I check ourselves every two months.
