As the resident PhD in nutrition, I admit to being an outlier. I had my
blood tested less than two weeks ago. Glucose was great, and my total
and LDL cholesterol were the lowest they'd been in years. Getting back
on a bicycle for the first time in over 30 years to be part of a relay
team in the Danskin Triathlon gets the credit. I haven't lost that much
weight, but every bit helps. I'm still riding the bike home from work
2-3 times a week (7 miles), and will probably start swimming in the
winter so I can do the full triathlon next year.

My brother had type 2 diabetes, among other things. It may have
contributed to his death at age 45, but the major cause was kidney
failure due to sepsis (blood infection).

OB Food: The SO grilled some country-style ribs for dinner. They
weren't as fatty as other times we've bought them.
