Ray Audette,

Before adopting a Paleo diet, were you an insulin dependent diabetic?  Todd
Moody made reference to your need to take insulin and your inability to gain
weight, even when eating lots of calories.

Most Type II diabetics, do not need to take insulin, contrary to accepted
medical treatment.  A glucose tolerance test that also draws insulin levels
will make the diagnosis as to whether insulin injections are needed.  Type I
and type II diabetes are completely different diseases.

From NeanderThin, I read no reference that Ray continues to use insulin.  If
Ray is able to eat fruit, vegetables, and juices, then he must be producing
insulin in order to metabolize the glucose.
