I always get very excited and very interested in reading what special people like you and Doug talk about. Both of you are experts and you want others to learn the truth about diabetes and its treatment. Since my diagnosis as a t2d in July 1991, my one and only diabetes medication has been exercise. It was easy for me to find out its effectivity. From a fasting diagnosis sugar reading of 468 mg/dl, I was able to bring it down to normal range in two weeks by running the stairs no less than a total of 2 hours/day. I have long reduced my stair-running time to not much more than 1 hour/day but I am still getting normal sugar readings. Food has never been a part of my sugar control because I generally eat plenty of carbs in all my 3 full meals/day. Strictly no snacks and none of the foods and drinks which are bad for my heart's health. I have proved to myself that exercise is truly excellent for treating t2d. If nobody believes what I am saying, that's perfectly normal. Even I can hardly believe it. I will just go on my merry way of proving to myself that t2d is not a progressive disease. What else should I do but to shoot for the most difficult goal considering that I will soon be completing my 17th year living like I have no diabetes.

If nobody believes what I am saying, that’s perfectly normal. Even I can hardly believe it.
