Dr. Mary Clifton admits she didn't know much about nutrition until a routine blood test taken six years ago showed that she was borderline diabetic.
In her late 30s and consuming what she believed was a healthy diet, Clifton was shocked to learn that her blood-sugar level was 125. "With a reading of 126, we make a diagnosis for diabetes," said Clifton. "I was well on my way to being a diabetic."
In addition to her blood-sugar level, Clifton's cholesterol was 211.
