Have you heard about Ketogenic diet for Diabetes?

Thanks for the info. It's pretty common in my family. Hopefully I will not experience it.

Sure you won't, take possible caution and avoid too much intake of sugar and other foods that's high in cholesterols. Avoid alcoholic drinks and other sweetened beverages but eat more of veggies.
