[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2255715, member: 365308"] Glucose lowering agents i.e. drugs do NOT work very well and essentially you're treating symptoms but not the root cause. So I d say best way is to try low carb or fasting for real health benefits. Insulin is bad because it makes the disease of insulin resistance worse as do the sulphonyuras (by juicing your insulin producing cells). The newer classes of drugs such as SGLT in hibitors involve you peeing out some glucose and therefore do not incrase insulin resistance but there again they don' reduce it! Jason \fung has written a good book explaining all of this ||The Diabetes Code - I like his analogy in which ctting carbs is like turning off your tap in a flood wheeas taking drugs is akin to simply making your drain slightly larger.
