Did drinking alcohol, smoking, exercise or lack of lead to your current health problems? or the health porblems of those you know your age? My mother is 73 smikes, drinks and is diabetic and could care less. The average age expectancy in my family is mid to late 70’s for smokers and drinkers. The others lived to be an average of 84.

I L B C N U asked:
I’m curious. I’ve read quite a few Q&As on type 2 diabetes in this section. It seems there are a couple of regular women answerers here who have let their disease progress to where they have to take insulin, while there are a couple of guys who have worked there way off of all medications with diet and exercise. All four of them are top contributors in the category. My question is this: When asking for advice in this section, who are you going to believe? The two guys who have found their way off the medication through natural means, or the two ladies who clearly don’t have a clue and continuously cite rhetoric from old, antiquated doctors’ and nutritionists’ advice?
