@alleycatkate This MAC thing is a total mystery to me. I've done as much reading on it as I can stomach. If the doctors can't even be on the same page with the cause and treatment plans, I figure I will just concentrate on doing what I can do and let the rest lie where it may. I totally agree with you about diet. One big component is sugar. We've got to cut as much sugar from our diet as we can manage. Not just sugar as what's in desert, but carbohydrate. If I need to eat it, I go for whole grains, such as whole wheat and brown rice, keeping the white stuff to a minimum. Just so happens I'm cursed with family history of diabetes. I don't have it yet. But that is the biggest motivation for me to cut down on sugar and carbs. The fear of getting diabetes is strong enough to keep myself inline. And I feel pretty good so far.
