Your friend died, jabber. So no point making any health warning post "light-hearted".

You don't have to be overweight to be a diabetes 2 candidate. I was close to being one...I initially had a false reading 3 yrs. ago. Got retested which was ok.

But nevertheless that scared me. So cut back on white rice and white bread. In fact, I have only eaten rice 3-4 times ANNUALLY. A big change from nearly every dinner when I grew up onward.

When I eat too much white rice, I feel like a sugar crash...very tired and not well. So that means less sushi and sashimi. frown These foods are high glycemic-- to me. My pancreas cannot naturally produce enough insulin for sudden sugar spikes.

I do still have desserts. But have noticed now that white wine, causes seame reaction in me. So I must eat/drink leess of this stuff.

To countgeract diabetes 2 is exercise, diet. So another reason for me to keep on cycling. smile
