Russ and all,

I smoked from the age of 17 until I quit at the age of 25.  With continued 
clean living and clean thoughts :-), I hope to forestall full blown diabetes 
for 10 years, by which time there will be a "cure."

The diabetes epidemic in this country coincides with the obesity epidemic.  
What used to be called "mature-onset" diabetes is now being diagnosed in 
seriously obese 18- and 19-year-olds.  Part of the explanation is fast foods. 
 When Mc
Donalds introduced it's burger, fries and Coke combo in the 1960s, there was 
only one size available and the total calories were 590.  Today, the "super 
size" version of the same meal is 1,550 calories!
