Bawdy - Glad to hear your husband's doctor supports lifestyle modifications. That's huge. It's empowering to know that your physician supports the fact that you can fix yourself with some changes and what appear to be sacrifices at first; yet, later become very satisfactory and healthy adaptations.

Yes, it is alarming that many don't know where to start, especially if/ when they realize that the authorities they've relied on for so long can be so wrong. The ADA could be a beacon on this topic, but is completely unhelpful. The doctors that treat us rely on the ADA for lifestyle guidelines and Pharma for the drugs to prescribe. Wow.
