Yes, I've heard that one too, many times!

Last year, I connected with on old friend from high school. She lost her dad to diabetes and is now type 2 herself. I told her that she could control her blood sugar with the right food choices and her response was that her doctor and his nutritional counselor told her to eat what she wanted and use the injection into her belly to deal with it. She doesn't speak to me now over this, sorry to say.
So yes, until the medical profession begins to teach people how to control their blood sugar without insulin injections, then they are doomed, as far as I'm concerned. They sure don't want to hear it from people like me!!

Why do people do this to themselves?
If changing the way we eat can help us avoid sticking our belly with needles and all the complications that come from diabetes, is that such a hard thing to do?
