Tony's Story Tony beat diabetes and wonders why so much wrong dietary advice is given diabetics
Like everyone in my family I have always had a weight problem. Then, last year, after feeling strange for several months, my sister, who has been diabetic for 25 years, tested me with her meter and my blood sugar was 491. She dragged me to the ER where I was given two shots of insulin, and a meal that included turkey, gravy, a box of sweetened cranberry juice and chocolate pudding which my sister advised me not to eat. After paying the $2,400 tab, I was instructed to make an appointment with an endocrinologist and sent home with a prescription for Metformin, daily aspirin and no dietary advice. My sister suggested buying a meter on the way home.
