I just found out that I have TYPE 2 diabetes, and I have just started to lose the extra 50lbs that I carry around on me everyday. Do I HAVE to take medication for it, and if so, is there one that DOES not make you gain weight?????? :( Can I just change my diet and it will "fix" itself?

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

First, and foremost, TALK to your doctor.
Then ... yes, losiing the extra weight can help ... I know a couple of people who have type 2 who take NO medications because they have lost the extra weight and are very careful with their food intake (and they have to watch their glucose readings carefully). And if you do take medication, it isn't the end of the world. Glucophage (metformin) helps some people control their sugar and lose weight, others it just helps control the sugar.
Good Luck to you.

There are many things that can be done to overcome type II diabetes, and improve the life of a Type I diabetic. If you are serious about not being falling victim to it needlessly, get a copy of "One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
It helped me, and my brother, who was dying. We lead mostly normal lives now. Best of luck.

Yes, if you are on metformin and your sugars are still a little high, you can ask your Doctor about Byetta, which helps you to lose weight, as well, you will not gain.
