[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1442044, member: 41816"] [USER=337291]@Chaobaby7[/USER] You may find this video interesting. The presenter is a little odd, and keeps making music references to entertain his audience, which I find quite irritating. But what he says about drugs and their effectiveness for type 2 diabetics is fascinating. And there is a section towards the end where he says that for most type 2 diabetics on a multi-drug regime, the overall experience affects their quality of life [B][I]to the same extent as having had a stroke[/I][/B]. And he is talking about the drugs causing that experience. Not the diabetes. [B][I]The drugs. [/I][/B] The first time I saw that, it really brought it home to me the impact of drug side effects. So while it will always be your choice whether you just go the diet and exercise route, or add in drugs as well, it is worth bearing in mind that while they are useful, and may become necessary, they also come with a potential price - side effects and reduction in quality of life. Here is the video. [MEDIA=youtube]pUOC5d0Siws[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
