I'm so glad to see an update for you. I was thinking about you today and was thinking of trying to email you to check in.
The Western diet and what my generation fed your generation (and ate ourselves) was Diabetes waiting to happen. Sadly, the diagnosis isn't surprising, as scary as it is, I know children, actual children, like 10 years old that have Type 2 Diabetes and high cholesterol and high BP. We've been feeding our kids crap for so long and not teaching proper nutrition that it's fucking them up.
I fed mine properly. That was one benefit of having depression era parents and eating garbage as a kid. Nice memories, but, I wanna live.
I'm glad you're taking your health seriously. Please continue to do so because you have a lot more to say and I, for one, am waiting to read it.
