An email received yesterday at lowcarbdiabetic website, name removed. Thanks for taking the time to contact us.
Hello,
I just started looking at your site and so far I like what I see. On your web site, I am noticing a lot of what I know from a decade of experience with this disease, to be the truth about diabetes. I have never been able to find a doctor or endocrinologist who was not a complete idiot about how I should treat this disease. My so called treatment was actually criminal. They were killing me!
I was forced to take control of my health and stopped taking all prescribed drugs, seeing doctors and going to labs. At that time I was on 5 different prescriptions none of which worked and all had significant side effects. I was injecting myself before every meal. The drugs, office visits and lab work cost me a lot or money! I believe making m oney was the primary focus of my treatment; to generate money for the medical community. I now control my health with diet (Atkins) and exercise and I am much healthier for it. The only money I have spent in years for my diabetes is for test strips and A1C test kits. I do my own lab work. My numbers are better than they ever were.
With some of the money I saved I bought myself a very nice bicycle and commute to work on it, 21 miles/day.
Thanks,
That's good to see someone appreciates you.

Well done you for successfully sorting your self out and sharing the good news.
ReplyDeleteI exercise more now than pre-diabetes but alas not cycling. I swim and walk this seems to do the trick for me, along with my diet, healthier now than ever before.
