Although adult onset happened to my father.

I like to keep carbs low because I think it's the healthiest way to dine. Also I have no desire to slip into adult onset, like my dad did.

It's tough sometimes because I would love to have some rice or potato salad now and then. Pasta. But I don't.

I would track my glucose but I don't have that meter. I track about everything else, though!
