[QUOTE="greatpotoo, post: 2203270, member: 48324"] [COLOR=#000000]Hello Leatrix, if you are new to the condition you should initially follow the advice of your healthcare provider (they usually know what they are doing... although sadly there are also exceptions to this rule and quality of advice may vary hugely...). Secondly you should start researching your condition at your own pace - don't trust information blindly as the web is full of "tales", "cures" and "wonders" which do not work. Use trusted sources, walk to your local library and look at some books on the subject. Look at research (this may be overwhelming initially as the vocabulary used may be complex but the more you read about the subject the more you'll understand). Have a look at your diet, do some exercise, realise, if you haven't already, that it is important to take care of yourself and your body. Once you have gathered all the information and start feeling more comfortable with your condition you can start making changes to your medication and challenge your doctor/nurse. Some promising research has shown that fasting may do wonders for all sorts of conditions including T2D. You don't need to starve yourself but a well planned fasting regime may do wonders... If you have a chance look into Dr Michael Mosley's BBC Horizon program [/COLOR][U][COLOR=#0000ff]Eat, Fast and Live Longer[/COLOR][/U][COLOR=#000000]. I can also recommend the following books on the subject: [I]The Fast Diet[/I] by Dr Michael Mosley [I]The 5:2 Diet[/I] by Kate Harrison [I]The Obesity Code[/I] by Dr. Jason Fung Best of luck to you![/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
