If only it would be a wakeup call. My dad who was there with us was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes. As far as I know, not much has changed in that regard. I think he is one of those people who thinks diabetes is just a getting old thing. Also, beer and sugar are too good to give up. I've made posts about my efforts to educate him before. You can't fix wanton ignorance, though. It looks like the family tree is in for some pruning.
