We know that Type 2 Diabetes is fundamentally a lifestyle related condition that can be prevented. The most important protective measures women should take are:
1. Diet - Low carbs, Very little or no refined sugar, no fructose or high fructose corn syrup, heaps of fresh fruit, little or no processed foods, low saturated fat consumption.
2. Chemo preventative dietary supplements. Transmax and Bioforte Resveratrol have been conclusively shown to lower blood glucose and blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, and help to keep one's weight in check. These supplements are also effective as a treatment when administered to patients who are and are not taking the Metformin type drugs. Ask your endocrinologists. He should be familiar with Transmax. It has been the subject of several recent peer-reviewed clinical trials. Given the mass of peer reviewed evidence in the public domain, any physician who does not consider Transmax or Bioforte for his Type 2 Diabetes patient is probably negligent.
3. Exercise and weight control. Obesity is the prime cause of Diabetes.
If the patient waits until he has Type 2 Diabetes to think about prevention he/she will be facing a lifetime of drugs, disability, and eventual loss of sight and possible limb amputations from its complications.
