[QUOTE="Yogamommy5, post: 1398955, member: 377828"] Hi, I was off all supplements, and trying to eat a healthy diet, when I was diagnosed with T2 a month ago. I also have Bipolar Type 2, which I have been trying to treat with medications for over 10 years. I decided a few months ago to get off these medications (many of which lead to major weight gain and blood sugar and cholesterol problems) as they haven't worked at all on my anxiety and depression, and have caused me to gain a lot of weight and have a multitude of side effects. The doctor grudgingly accepted my plan. I've started on just a multivitamin, the omega 3 fish oils (good for brain and cholesterol, maybe diabetes too?), and also probiotics for women (so many infections which led me to find out about my diabetes). I'm also doing a whole foods Low Carb High Fat diet, and I go to water exercise and yoga 3 times a week. This seems to have brought my sugar readings down and is keeping my very bad depression and anxiety at bay. Now if only I could lose some major weight! I think I need to lose about 80 lbs. We'll see at my 3 month check up if all this has improved my test results I guess. I REALLY do not want to end up on medications for this. I am sick to death of the physical damage that has been done to my body so I'm trying hard to avoid medications of all kinds now. Now that I'm 51, I feel a strong need to protect my longevity!
