[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 892741, member: 160246"] I agree wholeheartedly with Tim2000. There is much that can be done now. :) The reason physicians say there's nothing that can be done for now is because they receive little to no training in diet, nutrition, and herbs. They are trained to manage acute medical crisises and chronic and illnesses with medication, lasers, and surgery, not to stabilize or reverse same with diet and nutrition. It's not their fault. It's their training and the failing healthcare system they work within. You can tightly control blood glucose levels by learning when and what to eat with frequent testing throughout the day using a glucose meter. Inexpensive test strips are available. By buying them and the meter that is used with them, I reduced my test strip cost from 88 cents to 18 cents a strip. It's a small out of pocket expense. Had I not begun testing 4 to 7 or 9 times a day over the last five months, I couldn't have gotten my blood glucose levels under control without medication, and that's after having neglected my type 2 diabetes for 10 years. There's hope. Let us support you in learning how to make small changes to your lifestyle and diet that will greatly reduce your blood glucose levels, [I]for life[/I]. Others here have done it, you can too! :) [/QUOTE]
