Need advice about getting off of meds...?

Question

I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes at age 39, six years ago and this summer went on Lantus insulin once a day. I want to get completely off all the meds I am on. I want to talk to someone who has actually done it. Anyone out there a former user of insuling, glucophage and avandia who is now controlling it just with diet and exercise. I am soooo down about being on insulin and want to make some drastic changes. need advice. maybe even alternative medicine advice. thanks.

Answer 1

I personally have not had diabetes. I do know people who are and one is off of their medicine, the other used to take 100 units of insulin per day, he now just takes a shot once per week. He's done this through a nutritional program. Contact me if you want to learn more. I can also arrange to put you in touch with the latter person.

You can hear the latter persons testimony at (Uncle Lee):

Diabetes and Weight Loss: The Right Path
If you've got diabetes, losing weight can get you off insulin and other medications. But diet safely, with the help of experts
By Jeanie Lerche Davis
WebMD FeatureReviewed By Ann Edmundson, MD


There's no question about it: If you're overweight and have type 2 diabetes, dropping pounds lowers your blood sugar, improves your health, and helps you feel better.

But before you start a weight loss plan, it's important to work closely with your doctor or diabetes educator - because while you're dieting, your blood sugar, insulin, and medications need special attention.

Make no mistake - you're on the right path. "No matter how heavy you are, you will significantly lower your blood sugar if you lose some weight," says Cathy Nonas, MS, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association and a professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City
