Good girl.
If it IS Type II and you catch it early enough, dietary changes & pills & a bit of weight loss might be able to address it without needles.
Glad the salt drink is helping tho.
From what I read about squash, it's got a LOT of sugar in it.
So not only were you leaching out sale you were adding a lot of sugar. That probably wasn't helping either.
(tho the blackcurrant still sounds yummy)
