Dear TexasProgressive, I feel compelled to reply to your post. I am not a Doctor but I am diabetic. (Never got past the Metformin stage)

Are you aware of the original diet for people with diabetes? Long before there were meds available those people were prescribed to eat a low carb, high fat diet. It is what I do and it eliminates the need for medication.
Please do some research on this and see if it can help you. One site I recommend is the Diet Doctor.com ( http://www.dietdoctor.com/ ) He is a Swedish doctor who has a site devoted to research, etc on LCHF. In Sweden this is a recognized diet and it is safe and healthy to eat.

We are all going to try to find alternative ways to stay healthy and avoid expensive medications. In my case I have high blood pressure and I am trying meditation as an alternate method to hopefully get it under control.
