[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 127118, member: 8110"] Has it got to the point where a question can't be asked? :cry: Not all T2s are offered the option of control by diet, whichever diet may do it for them. I certainly wasn't. It took me 5 years to get to the beginning of my current path. Every now and again someone, who is probably very insulin resistant writes in explaining they need mega-doses of medication and, in contrast, we know there are several successful diet controllers here. I know I CAN do it, though I haven't made that step permanent yet and I wondered if most of us can if we really put our minds to it. I wasn't criticising anyone who has made a different decision from mine. However, I still think that many could do it and save themselves the side effects of some of our medications.[ I don't get any from my Metformin and didn't from Day 1 ] As to where to post this question. where else, but a discussion thread? And on minimal Metformin, I cost about 5p per day, so going totally Med free, wouldn't save a lot for the NHS; less than £20 a year! U500 costs a lot more than that. :shock: . My strips I already pay for myself. What is it in some people, which drives them to make every controversy into a personal attack? There have been times when I've felt a bit antagonistic towards someone specific. I have controlled my behaviour and avoided rudeness or personal comments. Yes I DO aim for non-diabetic levels of control. I have knownsome scary complications including a colleague dying after both feet were amputated. i can see no point in lesser control. Hana [/QUOTE]
