A recent article in Reader's Digest asked 4 medical experts for solutions to Type 2 Diabetes. Here are their responses:
1) "People who ate a plant-based, low fat vegan diet lost weight, reduced their cholesterol and improved their blood sugar....You can use diet to reverse the condition, but if you return to your old habits, it will come right back." Neal Barnard, MD
2) "Diet and exercise have the biggest impact, and the best diet is high in fiber and low in the glycemic index foods....fiber lowers insulin and cholesterol levels." Dwight Mckee, MD
3) "A main cause of type 2 diabetes is being overweight. You have to make a big change to get healthy, and exercise is key to reversing the condition....aim to burn 300 calories a day....gradually increase your exercise time." Joel Fuhrman, MD
4) "Diabetes is a disease not a moral failing. Lifestyle modifications can make it better...." Robin Goland, MD
My recommendation: Try diet, exercise and nutritional changes first before any drugs are used.
