If you have diabetes and are going to try to manage your disease without medication,please do not also try to manage it without close supervision of a doctor. The disease affects many organs in your body and when it starts affecting your liver and kidneys you usually have no symptoms other than the tests your doctor runs, but the damage to these are life shortening and life threatening. There is a reason diabetes kills people and it isn't just the people who are fat and continue to eat desserts. This is not a heal-it-yourself disease.
