Thanks, Ken. Very good information! I am watching your video now. My one 
sister (61) was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and also 
arthritis in her hip which made the last part of 2009 unbearable. I'll 
relay your post and send her a link to your video to watch for herself. 
She was looking for supplements but I know a more rounded approach that 
includes diet and exercise is going to help much more.

Thanks again
Stevie
