[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 1272678, member: 104933"] So presumably you can tolerate Metformin, is that included in your 'following the medical advice'? [USER=326134]@Shoelace1973[/USER] says that she cannot tolerate metformin, her Nurse is not listening to her concerns, and by my understanding is bullying her into continuing this form of treatment, when there is plenty of evidence that strictly controlled carbohydrate diet, with increased exercise can be a totally effective way of managing T2 diabetes. Nobody is suggesting a 'one size fits all approach'. Many people are happy with standard medical advice, others are not. The medical profession and specialist nurses need to catch up. Dr David Unwin, on his tweets, reports the success of a patient reversing his T2 diabetes in 38 days with diet and exercise alone. Just because some doctors and some nurses do not understand this, should people under their care have to struggle with a medication that is adversely effecting them that they could well do without? Personally, I prefer a non medication solution to most things, if there is one. And I am confident enough to explain this to my doctor, and he respects me enough to encourage me to try out the alternatives. Not everybody is so lucky. [/QUOTE]
