Hi. I am starting again. I did great 1.5 yrs ago, tracking all food intake and lost almost 40 lbs. I then went off and gained about 1/2 back. I am starting again today with a friend. My issue: I was injured and can't do much exercise, so I have to watch food intake even more.

Respectfully again (not in defense as accused), I don't need articles to prove a point. I ended up with Diabetes. I have an enormous sweet tooth. Within days of cutting back, my levels began to drop. Coinsidence? Within 2 weeks, my first hemoglobin A1C was down 3 points. My mistake many years ago-I replaced sweets with…

Glad you now agree with me. you said it yourself...not everyone is the same. so, to say that no one will get Diabetes from eating too much sugar or too many carbs/starches doesn't make sense. someone may never get it but others can from eating too many of these things. I am not defensive. I am an adult who respects your…

Not necessarilly. you could be pre-Diabetic and a healthy diet, low on sugar and carbs could aid in getting your pancreas moving properly again, thus creating the right amounts of insulin. This could assist you in not becoming Diabetic. often, it can be controlled by diet...low in starches, carbs and sugar.

This will be my last comment, as it seems to be turning into an argument. All I wanted to do was consider your info and share mine. No, nothing can CAUSE Diabetes if one alreaady has it. But, if I was to continue to eat sugar regularly, my reading would spike and my hemoglobin A1C counts would be too high. eating right IS…

I understand that you found this article and I have found many that boast the opposite. This is why we must not put all or most of our beliefs in something like this, but in professionals who research, study and live it. If I go out and have ice cream, my sugar goes way up...my cousins doesn't. I have Type II Diabetes. I…

I cut and pasted this address...came up that it doesn't exist. Also, because your husband, one person contracted it another way doesn't mean that no one can get it from overdosing on sugar.

Maybe genetics paid a big play and maybe not...never proven. What is proven is that an overabundance of sugar and food (carbs) that turns to sugar most likely will bring on Diabetes...in a year, 5 years, 25 years...everyone is different! But yes, an overabundance of many things can and probably will cause issues over time.…

Hurt my back & knee at my stress test on 5/15, so haven't walked ina couple of days. but, I will get back out there tomorrow. Wish me luck-get results froms tress test tomorrow. I think there is somethign wrong...just hope it's minor. I am praying for a miracle!

Found it-I am an air head! LOL! Got my stats in!

Well, it states on your message to message you my stats, but I then got an email stating I shouldn't. Hmmm...I don't see any link like you talked about! Helllllllllllp!

Ohhh, that's a dangerous comment to people who are Diabetic. An overabundance of sugar and sugary food can and most likely will bring on Diabetes. your pancreas slows down and doesn't pump insulin properly. Adding more sugar to this insulin-yes-makes a diabetic! Are you saying that as a diabetic, I don't have to cut down…

Hi: I am Nancy, 54 years old. I am 5'7" and 215 lbs, down from 219 2 weeks ago. I am Type II diabetic on pills. I need to lose now to be healthy. I have been overweight most of my life and have gone up and down, dieting for the wrong reasons. I am workign with a nutritionist to make this a life change and better my life!…

2 lbs in a week is GREAT! I just thru the same thing. My first 2 weeks on my new eating lifestyle and I lost 4 lbs. I was disappointed but my nutritionist said that this is a LIFECHANGE and that is great! Like you, I want that BIG loss but slowly and gradually will help you control it forever! GOOD JOB!

Hi All: I am Nancy. I'm 54 years old and have about 80 lbs to lose. I am starting here today. I have been overweight since about age 13. Before that I was skinny! I started controlling my food intake 2 weeks ago and have lost 4 lbs. I will support any/everyone if you will help me, too! Maybe we can create a challenge! I…
