[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1386594, member: 6467"] Just to add - you say you plan to stop the medication and let diabetes take its course. Those are two completely different things. Coming off medication which has a bad effect on you is a sensible thing to do. Many people posting here have taken a similar approach. Giving up on addressing your diabetes is a completely different thing. There are many things that you can do to improve your life and minimise the effects of diabetes which do not involve medication. The simplest and most significant thing is to change the way that you eat. If you are carrying too much weight then reducing your weight can make an amazing change as well. Medication is not the first nor the best way to approach diabetes in most cases. Oh, get the hell out of that GP practice as fast as you can. You need intelligent support. [/QUOTE]
