I am a type 2 diabetic since 12 years. 1.Doctors from one hospital are saying that since you are a diabetic since 12 years, you should switch to insulin. Their argument is good enough cos using drugs will bring in side effects and squeeze and stress the pancreas to give more insulin whereas such side effects are not there or very less for insulin. It is healthier to take insulin. But my diabetes is under control with medicines, some amount of diet and excercise. Another doctor says that the criteria for switching to insulin is not the long period of use of medicines but whether the tablets are able to control the diabetes or not. I personally find with my work it is very cumbersome and costly to be dependent on insulin. Pl. clarify. 2.They say that bread must be avoided. But can I eat brown or wheat bread as it is totally wheat? 3.Should carrots be avoided or can be eaten? 4.one allopathic article says that karela, methi etc only artificailly or temporarily make it seem that sugar is reduced but they actually block something and dont really reduce diabetes. Is it true? 5.How to control emotional eating? 6.liposuction of fat have the same effect as losing by exercis
