[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 2723, member: 1338"] Hi Choco, I've no doubt that your mother is well intentioned, but my advice would be to ignore her suggestion. We can fight diabetes, but we can't do that without knowledge of how it works. The more knowledgable you are about it the better for you. Your mother probably belongs to the generation that was brought up to believe "doctor knows best". Well, I'm afraid that when it comes to diabetes, then doctor too frequently for comfort knows less about it than we would wish of our GPs. You only have to read some of the posts that regularly appear on this forum describing mis-diagnoses or mis-treatment to appreciate how little is known about diabetes by the general medical profession.
