[QUOTE="Pinkorchid, post: 926654, member: 166283"] We sometimes forget that those here who are controlling their diabetes with LCHF are in the minority among the thousands of diabetics that there are not just in the UK but worldwide and the majority will never even have heard of controlling T2 diabetes with diet and exercise only Some diabetics may not ever need medication if they are determined to control their T2 diabetes with lifestyle changes but most I think will unfortunately never change their lifestyle or diets so doctors will prescribe medication because they know that most will need it. I think someone said it is better to start on medication and come off in the future if lifestyle changes means we no longer need it and hopefully many will be able to do that [/QUOTE]
