i could choose cakes and pies too! I must be misisng your point?
Read my first post again I have barely any information on diabetes. I'm doing what most people do when they see a doctor who prescribes them medicine surely?
Well yes you are but taking medicine is your choice of course. You said you "have" to take it.
I found that metformin gave me horrendous side effects so stopped taking it after 3 weeks of being tied to the loo.
Since then I have completely changed my diet to control my Type 2 with diet only combined wth fasting. I am a bit of an advocate of this way of control.. some would say I bang on about it incessantly but for me it has been great.
I have also done a lot of reading about the condition and think that a ketogenic diet is the way to go.
My doctor doesn't have my diabetes .. I do ...so I needed to take control.
I also found out that my particular HCP's were not very clued up on the more recent findings on treating Type 2 with diet so was quite happy to ignore them. But of course that was my own decision.
