True, the cat’s out of the bag now as to how to control Type 2 diabetes without insulin, and often without any meds - it just takes ignoring 50 years of ‘expert’ advice.

I had a friend with type II diabetes. She takes her shots and tries hard (often successfully) to control her eating.
But she HATES, LOATHES and DETESTS exercise.
SO, trying to be a good friend to her I e-mailed her that I'd walk with her ANY time, ANYwhere for how ever long or short a time.

Well, that enraged her. She wrote that she already KNEW what to do and didn't need ME to tell her. I stopped being her friend, I guess. Aren't friends supposed to help and be supportive?
I sent her a Christmas card...but no good.
I guess she wasn't the friend I THOUGHT she was.

When we had lunch once I watched her give herself an injection in her stomach. Yuck! The day will come when she'll die from diabetes.

I had it on both sides of my family. One of my father's sisters died from it and my mother's brother died from it.

PREVENTABLE and CURABLE.

Controlling or even eliminating type two diabetes through diet and exercise is simple but it is not easy. If it were easy no one would have type two diabetes. It is too bad that the diabetes pharmaceutical companies, magazines, special interest groups, etc. do not do more to stress the importance of diet and exercise. Instead they tell people which drugs might help them. I don’t know how many type two diabetics take insulin but I don’t think it’s most of them.

People with type one diabetes have the potential for the same types of devastating long term side effects of the disease as with Type 2, but it has a completely different cause. A type one diabetic does not make insulin and will die without it.
