Welcome to Diabetes Forums. I am glad you came in and took a look around. Very smart!

Floaters are common in us older folks. I would go ahead and make an appointment with an opthamologist so they can look at your eyes and possibly do a retinal scan. This gives you a baseline in later years if changes do occur.

Liver dumping generally happens when your blood sugar is running low and your body recognizes the problem. You can avoid going low at night by eating a small protein snack that keeps your blood sugar level throughout the night.

There really is no such thing as "carb free". Everything you eat will turn to carbohydrate. Some foods (like oatmeal) will raise your blood sugar quickly and keep it high for awhile. Other foods, like protein or leafy greens, will be easier on your blood sugar spikes. Linda is so right about the book.

I just wanted to welcome you and tell you that I am inspired by your quick action into learning.

Welcome
