I stopped taking too much notice of articles in newspapers! I used to believe them now they give such conflicting advice that you stop even reading them! We all know that medication is good for one thing but has side effects, even the innocent paracetamol, so what are we to do? Same with food, you avoid something that you like only to be told years later that coffee wine choc etc are actually good for you! confused

Typical nasty response from certain posters.

How about trusting your doctor?

There is also a very good article about type two diabetes covering several pages in the Waitrose Health magazine Autumn issue (£3 or free with a my Waitrose card)

Oh now, which should I do. Throw out my antidepressant and let depression totally overwhelm me? And then follow that up with my Omeprazole! and suffer agonies with acid reflux and probably get an ulcer, or worse?

Stupid article. Absolute rubbish.
