, if you haven't already, I'd suggest that you get a copy of DR.

BERNSTEIN'S DIABETES SOLUTION; Dr. B. is a cardiologist who is a diabetic

himself, and he's tested all his theories on himself and his patients.

Try to eliminate sugars and starches from your diet. It is impossible to

eliminate them entirely, but the fewer the better. Potatoes, white rice, white

pasta, white bread, winter squash, fruit juices (any processed/cooked fruit, for

that matter), and of course pastries, candy, and regular soda are OUT. Small

amounts of whole grain pastas and breads are OK, as is fresh fruit, especially

berries (try to eat the fruit unpeeled as much as you can).

You can eat most root vegetables, other than potatoes and beets, although you

should minimize the carrots. Turnips, parsnips, and rutabagas are OK. Summer

squash are great, as are most cruciates (bok choy, cabbage, broccoli, brussles

sprouts, etc.) Mushrooms are great. Nuts are great.

You should eat lean meats and you should avoid fried foods.

I to took the Interferon's, I took Beteseron for a year, Copaxone for a year,

and just 1 injection of Avonex. Well, these med's made me worse and the severe

side effect's never went away as most of the drug fact's stated that they became

less severe after 6 mo's or so. I developed severe allgeric reaction's to

Betaseron, and Copaxone after a few month's but, people talked me into staying

on the medication to see if it got better!! NOT!!!!!!!! And the only shot of

Avonex I took almost killed me.SERIOUSLY at one point in the early morning hr's

i woke up to a shaking bed where my body was shaking uncontrollable and I

thought that this is the end. Do i regreat taking these drug's YES. WOULD i TAKE

THEM AGAIN? NO.

I was on Avonex for 1 month and Copaxone for 1 year. They did absolutely nothing

for me and, I suspect, may have been causing more damage.
