There's diabetes in my family, and I'm the person that will be unlucky enough to get it this generation if I'm not careful.

I have the same problem. My Grandmother and all of her siblings are diabetic, and you know the whole every other generation thing...it has already got to my 15 year old cousin.
But I don't think the low carb thing is the way to go as far as health goes. Sure its good for temporary weight loss, I lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks on Atkins, but I was miserable. My sugar dropped, I was weak and tired all the time. I saw "floaters". My potassium dropped, I would wake up every night with these killer leg cramps because of that. I know that is one thing they warn you about in the book, but this pain was just fucked up. I think you should talk to your doctor about the low carb thing. LowERED carb is always good if you're used to eating a lot of sugar and are at risk of diabetes, but my Grandmother says a good balance is best.
Eat the taters, girl!

Yeah, I know my momma had bad issues. She allowed herself to be raised by my dad (they met when she was 12) and now she's weird about her men. She really isn't a shitty person, she just does shitty things. Sometimes I really do believe she doesn't know any better. She's clinically depressed and suicadal, I think most of this is because she never had the chance to grow up...but I'm no doctor, so I dunno. Although I love her and worry about her, I know it would do me much good to get away from her. I did once, haha...I lived with my Grandparents for a long time, then I moved out on my own 2 years ago. Last November she moved in right next door.
