The nutritionist gave me the diabetic diet to follow since I have insulin resistance that can be a precursor to diabetes & both my parents were diabetic so it's just a matter of following it & not letting my depression make me feel so hopeless about losing weight. It will be slow, that's for sure, but I'm trying to keep going even though the "wellness" center kicked me out of their program. Tthought I was too depressed to get any value from them. wonder how they got the idea I was depressed? I guess it was that I cried every time I was there.--Suzy
