I have medical issues too, but not diabetes- for this reason I have researched my condition at many 'net sites. NaturalNews's Mike Adams says that type 2 diabetes isn't even an actual disease; rather it is your body showing extreme stress signals due to poor diet. He says type 2 is absolutely treatable and curable. I have not done the research on this as diabetes does not directly affect me. I would peruse the NaturalNews site to get info and perhaps a gameplan, before I'd let some doctor just prescribe a bunch of artificial cures that are designed not to cure the disease but rather to alter the symptoms. I say this not being familiar with diabetes; but I have 2 friends that were positive type 2 sufferers but now live diabetes-free.
