When your doc gives you the news that you are a type 2 diabetic, this is a traumatic moment. Although you might not have given the possibility and consequences much thought, up until the point of diagnosis, most of us are familiar with this typically degenerative condition. This includes the kidney and heart problems that may ensue, as well as deteriorating vision and circulatory problems. To many a type 2 diabetic, this pronouncement may seem like a death sentence.

Unfortunately, medical professionals, on the whole, may unconsciously or unwittingly reinforce this perspective on the patient.
