T2D would be better served to cut carbs & avoid ALL seed oils. Meds should be a last resort
That at least ought to be the starting point: Cut carbs significantly, fasting, and if that isn’t enough, THEN look at medicines. Starting with diet and exercise ought to be the first step with many illnesses but instead it is often the last - if mentioned at all.
In fairness, I know a Type 2 diabetic with serious issues who insists on stuffing her face with donuts and cookies. Doctors probably get tired of giving advice many patients will totally ignore.
I agree. Have you seen Dr Pradip Jamnadas (MD) on YouTube. He makes a lot of sense.
These meds take away the appetite, so that you don’t even think about food, let alone get hungry. The pounds come off very easily, and since a lot of T2D is caused by metabolic syndrome and obesity, these meds are extremely effective. (This is also why all the celebrities are on it, though they do not have diabetes.)
