[QUOTE="rosalindp, post: 1566306, member: 422678"] Hi Sorry to hear about your current situation. {hugs} I've been in a similar place of denial (but I don't regret putting first the needs of my family when it was necessary). I agree with the comments above, especially: "The key to get a grip with type 2 diabetes is to change your diet. Taking pills can help, but diet is much more important. If you don't change your diet then type 2 diabetes gets progressively worse." I've changed my diet to very low carb, so have been instead eating mainly protein & veges .. & my sugar levels are now (currently still with the help of some Metformin) no longer sky high. - What caused me to get out of denial? - The Drs wouldn't consider my other health issues until my sugars are low enough for them to no longer blame them... & I didn't want to risk my kids becoming orphans just yet... I hope that things improve for you soon... Kind regards, Rosalind Quote: “For the general population, the optimal number of cookies is something close to zero, and even fewer for diabetics.” – Eric Sodicoff, M.D. [/QUOTE]
