“Keep good company. There is a story of a bucket of crabs I once heard. A man walks by a fisherman who is sitting there with a bucket full of crabs that he caught, no cover on the bucket. The man says to the fisherman, ‘Hey, you should cover that bucket or you will lose all of your crabs!’ The fisherman replies, ‘No, when one crawls up the others just pull him down.’ Ain’t that the truth. There is a strong correlation between developing type-2 diabetes and hanging around with other people with type-2 diabetes — stronger than any other correlation.” — Sarajean Rudman, M.S., nutrition and health and wellness coach
