Have you read the newer approach to your diet to lower blood sugar naturally? I have read a couple of articles and purchased a book with new recommendations. I can't do the recommended exercises but I can do some of the food changes which help a lot. I never have relied on meds for my diabetes issues and have learned to avoid certain foods permanently which has been a big help. I also eat a high fiber diet and have little stress in my life at this time. Also I have studied depression and have learned to change my thinking to a more positive mode and be grateful for my little successes. I would not take meds for depression, but I would change my life and the people in it if necessary to have better health. I believe in eating new foods and there are lists on the web that recommend the best and safest foods for your particular needs. I can't do the very low carb diets out there, but I can count carbs very well and be satisfied to limit them.
Temporarily, I would accept some insulin shots as I did in the hospital some years ago when the pain medication raised my blood sugar.
When I came home, I quit the pain meds and the numbers came back down to prediabetic levels. I firmly believe in eating a low carb diet regardless of what the family or anyone else says, and searching for new foods that help you feel satisfied. It works for me. Dorisena
