“Why are people so desperate to find some food product to blame for their poor health?”
I was drinking a lot of fruit “juice,” figuring it was about 95% water, and good for me. But they were loaded with high-fructose corn syrup. Doc did my blood one day and told me my sugar was really, really high, and that I had type 2. I cut out the “juice,” and within a couple months, I was slightly above high normal. Don’t even have to take meds anymore.
I've been drinking a lot of wine figuring much the same thing!
Well, I’ve got my blood sugar under perfect control with the daily meds, and I can also go off the meds, however it takes too long for my body to get the blood sugar back between 100-120 after eating if I’m off the meds.
It can take 3-4 hours to go back down naturally, whereas on the meds it takes 2 hours flat. So the doc says even though my diabetes is managed now, the underlying condition still remains, so he wants we on the meds.
Luckily I’m taking the old school meds metformin and glimepride, which do not seem to have these dire side effects like some of the more recently introduced diabetic medeicines.
