“My mantra: EAT LESS; EAT BETTER; MOVE MORE.”
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.
“Simple to do but so very hard to do.”
Particularly when the ‘experts’ consider you borderline insane for questioning their ‘wisdom’.
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.
