 	Until this summer, I had a friend with type II but it turned out 
his system of managing it was defective.

 	After the funeral, his father and his gf (my ex) were discussing 
his diet, as reflected by the large amount of processed food in his 
freezer. Both of them agreed that it contributed to his early death but 
they also thought that it would be a shame to just toss what for lack of a 
better term I will call the Death Food out, so they insisted I take it.
