Calling Diabetes who are striving to not take medication

I think this is a great goal, I hope you find someone who can help walk you through this process.

While I am not going through this myself, if I can offer support to you on this journey, feel free to message me anytime!

Thanks CK! I will definitely take you up on your offer. If you hear or see a discussion group on this topic, please let me know. Thanks again!

Hi Dgross,
Yes, I am sure that you can heal your diabetes to the point of not taking meds. I honor your courage to stick by your convictions. I am a health coach and have a lot of knowledge that I could help you with. Either here or by email. I know for a fact that most modern degenerative conditions can be corrected through lifestyle and dietary changes.

If you are interested, let me know and we will continue the conversation.

Will do Dgross!

Dgross,
A person can be eating poorly and not even be aware of it, because we haven't been told the truth about what's happening to our food. The food industry tells us certain things are "good" for us when the the reality is otherwise (like milk). I would be happy to share with you (or anyone on the forum who is interested) recipes and information on this. Just let me know.

It isn't about "eating poorly" so much as it's about finding what's right for your body. Sugar forms in the body not just from eating sugar, but eating things that become sugar in the body. It's about reducing processed foods (eliminating, if possible) and adding in the "good stuff" the "real food." Let me know if I can help you move forward in this path.

Hi Dgross,
I found out in Sept 2011 that I am diabetic. wasn't a surprise, but it was a shock. family history and being overweight. my AIC was 6.3 and then dropped to 6 in 2 months. I totally changed the way I eat and lost 50 lbs in 6 months. my daily readings are right around 100 before meals...so I am keeping steady. I am not on any medication and don't want to be. totally watching my carb count daily and eating very limited sugar. one trick is to eat a little every few hours. too much of one thing can throw you out of control and going to long without anything is very bad.

Hi,

I am 37 and newly diagnosed myself. I wish to comment on this statement you said: "All of the diabetics I talk to have a nonchalant attitude about it and see me as "extreme"." The younger as adults we are when we are diagnosed, the longer we have to live, and the more time complications have to arise if we are not doing what we can to take care of ourselves. We have the power to take control of the disease before it takes control of us. I hope you have and find people who support your beliefs, and commend you for your positive attitude. The only thing 'extreme' about your attitude is its strength, and this is a wonderful thing. I feel I must be the same myself. It's otherwise far too easy to let discipline slip away.

Best wishes.
