Wow! Beginners Luck! You seem to have hit the jackpot on your first try! I was first diagnosed, ten years ago, but left to get on with things on my own. About four years ago, my doctor started to push the drugs at me and sent me for diabetic education, group meetings, and chat with a...

Interesting Book By A Main-Stream MD Hello! Although this book was first published in the UK in 2007, i just found and bought it recently. It is the first time that i have discovered anything from a seriously, main-stream doctor that states that Diabetes can be reversed. WOW! The Author is...

Re: yogurt & other things... Hello to all here! Having tended to be fat since puberty and never being happy being fat and having watched several family members die slowly and painfully from diabetic complications, whilst following the doctors advise, and now being officially diagnosed as...
