[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2442982, member: 401801"] Why diet rather than meds...? I didn't want my husband to be a young widower, which was the way things were going. But I responded very badly to medication (first metformin, then gliclazide). So I [I]had[/I] to find another way. Diet was one that stuck. Once I'd make the choice to learn about low carbing, I also found that it was a better way to avoid complications/progression later on. I've seen people lose limbs and later lives in rather horrible ways due to their uncontrolled blood sugars. I want to spare myself that, and more than that, I want to spare my husband having to care for me through that. He's given up enough when he decided he wanted to marry me, after all. ;) Taking care of myself is the least I can do. [/QUOTE]
