Can one avoid getting diabetes type ii, by taking a small amount of ribena syrup daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Do not waste your money. The answer to avoiding dm2 if you are predisposed is diet and exercise. There are pills - metformin and Acarbose - that can decrease the development by 38% in high risk people . With diet and exercise alone, without pills, this climbs to over 50%.
