If NutriSystem doesn't work just try limiting sugars, starches, grains, other "bad" carbs. The weight will fall out without even exercise. Diabetes, at least of the type II variety, can be cured despite what the medical industrial complex will tell you.

Hammerfan, oh don't you hate it, everyone starts to come out of the woodwork with suggestions. I would never do that...

MMyers is right by the way, a number of larger studies show diabetes type II reversed (& type II anecdotally & with actually studies with a vaccine, & with antibody manipulation in mice).

Strictly speaking weight lose, I lost about 20 pounds through eating smaller portions every meal. Coffee cut my appetite. Cut softdrinks out, got used to, & happy with, drinking water (we're not humming birds). The Atkins Diet works: all the meat you want, cut way down the carbs: soda, pasta, icecream, breads. More water, salads/veggies fills you up, high in fiber & low calories.

Obviously, everyone needs to exercise, gets all the systems flowing & cleansing. But also I recommend everyone eat a salad everyday with a variety of vegetables -- along with the fiber, there's something about the micronutrients that make us healthy.

One of the interesting studies suggest some individuals' diabetes is caused by animal fat. That individual's system attacks the foreign fats, & then human cells that produce insulin. If other things don't work, or you think it's possible, you might try eliminating animal fat (milk, cheese, animal grease).

This is accurate! Three years ago, I had to give up all wheat/gluten products and most dairy products due to several health problems. Eliminating those items will improve your health very much. You don't need "diets", you just need to change the types of food you eat. I also use Stevia or Splenda instead of regular sugar which is way better for you, especially if you are diabetic. My husband also is only eating low carb foods and his health has improved also. You will see how much better you feel once your body starts dumping all the bad carbs. I wish you the best :)

Thanks, everyone! I'm going to try it for a while, see what happens.
