And you'll feel better doing it. <BR/><BR/>I was probably borderline there for a while. My Gram was always wanting to test my "sugar". She passed away over a year ago from kidney failure. I miss her a ton, she was very supportive of the new me. She didn't want to see me suffer from Diabetes like she was.<BR/><BR/>However all the pharma/medical/wilfred brimley mail order companies are making $$$ off of treating this disease. Managing it yourself with smart food choices doesn't benefit anyone but you. Who's making money off that? This is America, we seem to excel at making a buck off of other peoples suffering.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219895604370083732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4893041091297560630.post-61332903759873323952008-08-22T17:50:00.000-04:002008-08-22T17:50:00.000-04:00It is disconcerting how much it's being pushed the...It is disconcerting how much it's being pushed these days. I know that for some people it's worthwhile, even with the side effects. (My sister-in-law had surgery, and she does suffer some pretty unpleasant side effects, but she said she would do it again.) I've read quite a bit about it helping tremendously with Type 2 diabetes, which I have, but even so, no thanks. For me, managing it through healthy eating habits, exercise, and metformin has made me feel better than I have in a long time, even if the weight loss part takes longer than getting the blood glucose in a good range.Pubsgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05636089392777186992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4893041091297560630.post-68863938775450617092008-08-19T21:12:00.000-04:002008-08-19T21:12:00.000-04:00I'm with you on this.

I'm not criticizing anyone for having it, but it seems so first resort when shouldn't it be a last? Just my two cents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682654311294278511noreply@blogger.com
