Specializes in Endocrinology

Type 2.refuse meds: The choice is always yours. But if you want to live awhile you need to change your diet and/or take meds to keep BS and BP control. The Best Diet for both is the DASH. You want BMI <25 and to move to the DASH EATING plan which I can detail if interested.
