[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1774568, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Again [USER=473281]@Walter Wolf[/USER], I feel privileged to read your clear thoughts and feelings on this issue (a big issue for all who get so diagnosed - how to treat this type two? How to live with it? How to live as happily as possible?). I think to some degree, one goes through stages like the stages of grief when you get some huge health diagnosis like diabetes. And we all have our ways of dealing with that. I hope you continue to feedback to us how the medications route goes for you, as it is an important route, and important for interested parties like those of us on these forums to hear about it from a clear communicator like you. Just some more titbits before I leap off into my day: Dr Jason Fung does some great analysis of pharmaceutical treatments, giving overviews of the studies and results - and you could just ignore the 'lifestyle changes' (ie diet) he talks about a lot and many of us here tune in on at his 'intensive dietary management' website. Just pay attention to what he says on the pharmaceuticals! He's such a thorough researcher and straight talker you could trust him. Also, have a panel of endocrinologists behind you. When it comes to diabetes heath professionals my experience of endos is that they are hugely into a pharmaceutical response to type two. I've been taught how to handle syringes, for instance, from a fabulous endo I was in contact with early on after I was diagnosed. As far as I understand - the end point of the pharmaceutical route is injecting insulin. If you were my son I would be concerned that were accepting a future where subsequent nerve and organ damage was in your sights, but I might think this because those possible outcomes are horrifying to me. (You should be thankful I am not your mother because I fear I would be on your doorstep offering to move in and be your personal cook! A low carb one of course, lol.) (My own actual adult son would be chuckling - as he moved to the opposite end of the country to avoid exactly this!:) ) With personalised medical care, (I guess I am thinking of you paying for the extra care), with various medical teams behind you, you can offset the worst possible medical outcomes, I imagine.
