It was a horribly difficult change at first, but I've adjusted.

If any good has become of my SFN, I've hopefully taken myself off the path to diabetes. The latest stats on the disease in the U.S. are sobering.

Prediabetes

- 37% of U.S. adults aged 20 years or older have prediabetes
- Only 11.1% of Americans with prediabetes have been told they have it

Diabetes

- 29.1 million Americans, 9.3% of the population, have diabetes
- 8.1 million Americans have undiagnosed diabetes (27.8% of diabetes is undiagnosed)

I went through the same thing with diet. Now I limit grains and carbs drastically, I do eat lentils however. Mostly I eat my no sugar protein ice cream and then raw sprout salads and a green drink that is loaded with anti oxidents and deep greens. Parsley, Dandelion, dried grass pwds, spirulina, etc, blended in a power blender until it's basically liquid. That's pretty much what I'm eating these days.
