Abstract
The hypothesis that fiber-depleted starch foods are the main factor producing NIDDM diabetes (henceforth called diabetes) started in my mind in 1929 soon after I joined the Kenya Medical Service. It continued on and off in my mind until it culminated in two articles published in 1987, some 59 years later.
