[acb-diabetics] weight loss

[Alice Ritchhart]

Good idea Abby, but realize that the web site is not totally 
accessible. I have ask and ask for help from Linda Dardarian on this 
matter. But Weight Watchers is the best way to go. I tried the Nutri 
Systems for diabetics it sucked. Also I gave up on an 
endocronoligist. Could not find one smart enough to deal with my 
diabetes and blindness. My general physician and I are going to deal with it.
