[QUOTE="patticat, post: 475974, member: 55973"] I was T2 diagnosed August 2001 in a small country community in Oklahoma, and I'm afraid the local GP just didn't know enough about diabetes care and just thought meds were the easiest way for him to go. In 2003, I moved to the Oklahoma City area to be closer to my daughter, and had specialists there who were, of course, much more knowledgeable, but still not infallible. Long story short, in 2006 I almost died from what they called an "Addisonian episode" of Addison's disease, which necessitated me going from pills to two types of insulin, Humalog (fast acting) and Lantus (long acting), and I have been able, along with diet, to keep my DB under control. Unfortunately, my BMI is way over what it should be, and I am really working on trying to get that under control once again. Recently, I have "discovered" a product called NutriBullet, which I'm sure a lot of you have heard about. In their accompanying booklet describing the proper use of the product, they have a six-week "diet program", which is really just a very sensible low-carb type of diet. However, what this product actually is, I believe - they don't state this - is a mostly "raw food" program, because what the NutriBullet does is "extract" all the nutrients from the veggies and fruits you put in it, for the most part skin and all. I could not believe how well it actually works, but going on the six-week program and having at least two daily of these "shakes" - for lack of a better term - started almost immediately - within only two days - to bring my blood sugars down dramatically and helped reduce my weight. Also, I was amazed at how much better I felt, and it also seemed to help with the severe sleeping problems I had been having for about a month and which had affected my blood sugars quite a lot, as well as my blood pressure. I promise I have no connection with this company or any of its products, but just thought I would mention it as something that might be of help to people like yourself, who are trying the diet and exercise.
