"Diabetics have always been at a much greater risk of heart disease than non-diabetics. According to the American Heart Association, approximately three-quarters of people with diabetes die of some form of heart or blood vessel disease. The exact mechanism by which diabetics succumb to heart disease was not totally understood. A new study by US and Australian researchers sheds light on the process that can lead a diabetic to a coronary incident.
"...short-lived sugar highs can trigger changes in gene expression that lead to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques - the build-up of white blood cells on artery walls that causes the narrowing or 'furring' of arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart."

Another post from last week is a quick story about a research student who figured out that high carb + disease makes you even sicker...
On a personal note, I got hit on last weekend. I don't get hit on often so it kind of took me by surprise since I am:
1) way taller than most people
2) have been overweight since my early 20's
3) I'm 45 and have been married forever
4) Still need to lose 18 pounds
It was kind of a good news/bad news thing. It is nice to know that someone finds you attractive...but the person hitting on me was a lesbian. Now, this isn't the first time I have gotten hit on by lesbians. It happened quite a few times in college. I must say though, I seem to be attracting an entirely different type than I did in the past. In my younger, fatter days, it was the mullet-wearing, flannel-sporting, Wrangler-wearers with huge belt buckles that thought I was interesting. Last week, it was a tall, cute blonde. I am moving up in the world apparently. Low carb seems to have helped me in a very unexpected way. Even though I am quite happy with my husband and will always have a preference for boys, it's nice to know I have options.

Your "On a Personal Note" story made me laugh. Just the way you wrote that is funny, even though it probably wasn't funny at the time. This is a new topic for low-carbers. Ron, aka The Former Donut Junkie
