Secondly, if you are Type2 then it isn't true that you will need to be on medication for life! Thousands of Type2's are controlling their Blood Glucose by using lifestyle alone - no medication required!I got my Type2 under control by using a Low Carb High(er) traditional Fat way of eating (no calorie counting - so not a 'diet' as such). This was done without having to starve myself, my weight loss (BMI 26 to BMI 22 - so I am/was thin outside Fat Inside TOFI) came about purely form eating LCHF  not meds, no additional exercise and no conscious cutting of calories. Just getting a BG meter and testing my meals to keep the BG spike (at 2hrs after first bite) to 2.0 mmol or less.</blockquote>
