My grandfather died of a heart attack after being diagnosed with Type II diabetes. Although we are sad to lose him, we know that he could have had a better diet and exercise routine to manage his disease. It sounds like JF has a good lifestyle to manage the condition. Choose healthful foods. Also I heard about Stolle Wellness products. This naturally bovine milk derived dairy supplement has been shown to reduce cholesterol. Check out this study: Sharpe, S.J., Gamble, G.D. Sharpe, D.N. (1994) Cholesterol-Lowering and Blood Pressure Effects of Immune Milk. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 59:4, 929-934. Hope this helps.
