My mother was diagnosed as pre-diabetic last year and has dramatically changed her diet. Seeing her going through all these changes and whatnot just scares me. I'm not yet 30 and already looking at diet modification so I don't run the risk of contracting "diabeetus" (sorry, trying some humor out on this)... but holy schnike! This watching what you eat and changing your diet is a ton of work! I liked it better when I just ate whatever I want and everything is fine.
