that I have been using daily exercise as my only anti-diabetes medication.
Based on a sky-high fasting blood sugar reading of 468 mg/dl, I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. I was supposed to be on several anti-diabetes pills but I refused to take them. So our family physician, Dr. Adelto Adan, a cardiologist at Mid-Michigan Medical Center, USA, required me to take a stress test. As soon as I passed it, I started running our stairs for a daily total time of 2 hours. I did this for 16 1/2 years.
My total daily exercise time now is still 2 hours but my exercise routines are much easier: power-walking in place combined with jogging in place. Sometimes, I add modified push-ups and squat.
The foods I have been eating are heart-healthy, natural, fresh (raw or cooked), unprocessed, and whole (mostly carbohydrates).
In short, during all the time that I have been a type 2, I have been living like I have no diabetes.
Am I here to tell you to follow 'my way' of controlling my diabetes?
No, not at all.
I wish to suggest that you listen very carefully to everything your doctors, healthcare providers, and other diabetes experts tell you, and do your best to discover for yourself 'your way' of successfully managing your disease. Yes, it is easy, inexpensive, rewarding, and well worth your time and effort to attain a life like you have no diabetes.
