I am going to add in here. I have lost weight from around 435 to 414 as of today at the doctor's office. I am trying to do this as I am allergic to corn, and that limits my treatment for diabetes. Cliff is ahead of me in this but that additional problem I have is harder to deal with than what Cliff is doing. But I applaud Cliff as well and encourage others to lose weight. It is tempting to use food to make oneself feel good. Everything in moderation. In this way, type 2 diabetes can be offset and even be cured.
