The Great Fumar speaks the truth. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled and even reversed. Check you blood before and after eating, frequently, and have you A1C checked by your doctor regularly. Mr. Ouma was all set to have lapband surgery to lose weight and control his diabetes when they realised that he had had very extensive surgery 3 years ago to remove a tumor on his bile duct. The area was left with a lot of scar tissue so it was decided that the lapband procedure would be too dangerous. I was devastated but then Mr. Ouma announced that he would lose the same amount of weight without the lapband....and by golly he did. His sugar levels are now below 110 - down from the high 200's and low 300's - and his doctor says that the diabetes is well on its to be being reversed totally. It can be done, diet excercise, and wathc the carbs. Its so important, its such a terribly devastating disease.
