My parents both have had high glucose level, and regularly taken diabetes drugs to control. I told them about bad side effects of these drugs and it's better to use diet to treat the disease, only to be told "We're in our 70's, why should we suffer by not eating what we like?"

Well, last fall, they came to visit us, and stayed for a couple of months. Simply by eating with us, with a healthier diet, now both of them are off the drugs. "We learned how your guys eat. Now we don't even want to get back to our previous diet. It feels so good!"

Type 2 Diabetes' drugs for controlling blood sugar level have severe side effects, such as raising heat attack risks by as much as 40% See more news on this from WebMD, lung fluid build-up, hypoglycemia, and potential drug toxicity overloading the liver and body detoxification pathways (read more).

In fact, type 2 diabetes is not difficult to treat without having to endure the side effects of potent drugs such as Actos or Avandia. The best treatment is through diet. If you are on a caloric restriction program such as YBM Caloric Restriction and eat a pure low Glycemic Index, raw, low starch foods recommended by programs such as YBM Diet, you can get back to healthy blood sugar level and body weight.
