good article - mostly.

the "reporter" refers to insulin as "medicine". it isn't medicine. it is a hormone.

insulin is the most natural way to help the body fight hyperglycemia.

for IR type 2s. losing weight and low carb is right on message.

for someone like me (slim, with a pancreas that is deficient), low carb works well - BUT - i needed more help.

hence my decision to use a "natural therapy" - insulin. it has only been four days now - but my life has gotten way easier!!!

the writer also "presumes" that injecting insulin is a big deal. (it isn't).

but for the most part this article is a huge step in the right direction. hopefully - it won't be invisible (like Frank's posts).
