Thanks for the compliment! I'm so glad you got a chance to look through
it. I think it's a pretty good article - definitely great exposure and
that's what we're after right?
As to low carb, I though diabetics had to be on moderate carb or higher
carb diets to keep the blood sugar from dropping too low on the injected
insulin. I still say it's the easiest (cheapest!) way to keep our
insulin levels low and stable.
