safer for someone to take the meds to control the BS while on the food pyramid diet or to increase the protein for fat?

Question:
i have a few views I agree i feel the food pyramid is a starting point they do say see a dietitian. and exercise is a very important to include in any diet, to help its success a question i do have is - do they feel its safer for someone to take the meds to control the BS while on the food pyramid diet or to increase the protein for fat?


Answer:
I have no earthly idea...I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if drs think it "better" to control sugars with medication rather than by diet and exercise alone? Or, are you asking if the higher percentage of protein and fat contained in a lower carb diet delays (or eliminates) the spike of carbs, which in turn allows some T2s to come off of meds...and if so would drs prefer to have a patient on meds or a higher protein diet? If either of these is your question, I still don't have any idea as to what the answer is.
