[QUOTE="JTL, post: 2197351, member: 49289"] [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/loukay1.391386/']Loukay1[/URL] I started on the prescription drugs because I knew no better. I seemed to be surrounded by people like yourself who's prescriptions just kept going up and the people were not getting any better. I discovered others on here with similar problems then discovered people on here talking not of going on a diet but making a life change in diet and I ended up on low carb high fat. No drugs different approach to food and I can't say I've reversed my T because I haven't but I lead an almost normal life .... almost. I have a glucose meter to keep a check on things and check at least once a day sometimes more. But no drugs for T2 and no drugs for cholesterol and I'm doing pretty good. I have also learnt to say I have T2 diabetes not ... I'm a diabetic. If you have cancer you don't say I'm a cancer or I'm a headache I'm a broken leg .... diabetes is not who we are it's something we have .... a disease. That way of thinking helped me approach the whole eating thing and and everything else better. [/QUOTE]
