I have genitic diabetes my mom dad and 3 of my 4 grandparents had it.
I was diaignost during my hubbys cancer stuff 10 years ago.
I am still on oral meds but latly I have been trying a new herbal from my health food store . It is doing as well as the $500.00 a month meds and is only $24.00 .
I have started walking more and paying attention more on portion size.And drinking more water(if thats possible ) I try to drink a 1/2 gallion of it a day. Since April I have lost 25 lb. and sugar levels seem to be leveling off.
Momm and I have always thought it was an individal disease. What works for some doesn't work for others. I did do Atkins for a while last summer but due to the meds I was on it was taking too long for me . So I changed my plan , doc says if I lose 40 more pounds I may not need meds. so really trying to get them off.
The diabetic assn. has a web site which has tons of recipes.
Glad for this thread.
