Belated thanks Ms. GailA.
We have 3 kids , all grown, but my wife was gestationally diabetic. That sets you up for Type Two diabetes.
She did exercise and diet for years but once your sugars become uncontrolled you have to go with insulin as high sugars over time can result in blindness, amputations, heart troubles, etc.
With a large bookcase full of health books and any number of kindle books she has a combination exercise/diet regimen that has her off insulin for ten years (after ten years on) with sugars under control.
No pasta, no breads, very little dairy, but bacon, burger, spinach, no peanuts but lots of pecans, macadamias, almonds & other nuts, I couldn’t give up all those things.
She’s the expert so I’ll pass this along to her. I’d always assumed that generics were available simply because the patent had expired and were identical in composition and efficacy as the original formulation.
Stupid of me as with so many medicines coming out of China (90%+?) where saving two cents per anything allows them with knowledge to put a formica ingredient into pet food to fool protein tests despite killing pets word-wide.
Untrustworthy replaces inscrutable for the chinese meme.
Anyway, again, thanks.

That is the BIG issue, I have both Gastropresis, which is Slow Digestion I broke out in Hives on the first Pill of REGLAN which is used unwisely to treat a life long VAGUS nerve damage. Your diet becomes easy digest foods, high in carbs, soft meats, NO FIBER. For 5 yrs I managed to keep the A1C1 at a 6, two yrs ago it started climbing. I eat off a saucer or out of a cup, two meals a day. Always hungry.
My eldest is Type 2, ten yrs and says I need Metformin and Glimerpride.. DUH I react to BOTH. I’m also Hypothyroid. Doesn’t help. Neuropathy from Degenerative Spine prevents much walking, ready for a wheelchair.
Endo just ignored the A1C1 hit 7, then 8.1. 3 reactions to the first 3 drugs. Taking Predisone is a nightmare on the sugar 400-500. I do good to keep it under 200-300. Diabetic diet is High Fiber, there is No Middle ground for two opposite GI diseases. I’ve 2 Barrett’s Esophagus a Pre Cancer, Upper Endoscope every 3 yrs and biopsy.
You just named off everything I can’t digest. Nuts? I had to have the last 10 lower teeth removed last year, 3 surgeries, the finished product won’t adhere no matter what adhesives I’ve tried. Very ill made.. dentist isn’t open due to WU-FLU.
