meds or no?

[Guest guest]

Sam has an issue, as I do, with doctors who's first option is medication.

Some, not all, of these doctors feel that we won't be compliant on diets so

whats the use of trying it?

And it is hard to follow a diet!

But part of the problem also is that the doctors often don't impress upon us

the seriousness of this. I know I was told to " try " and lose a little

weight and to watch my sugar. I was given no meter, no info on diabetes, no

classes, nothing. Many of us have had to figure it out ourselves. And once

we learned what we weren't told, we were upset with the medical system that

left us in the cold, then we were distrustful and wonder what else they

aren't telling us.

Medication is a blessing, there is no doubt of that, but there is also no

doubt that it is better not to have to take it and we should get that option

or at least be told of how to go about doing it and whether it is possible

for us.
