I've decided that avoiding diabetes is one of the motivating factors in my quest to lose weight. My Dad has yet another ulcer on his foot that is infected by one of the so-called "superbugs" that is antibiotic-resistant. He could lose his foot. His blood sugar is in the normal range, but once diabetes arrives, it becomes a permanent guest.
I prefer to enter my rapidly approaching golden years in good health and with all my appendages intact so I think I'm going to be "scared skinny."
