even after control of diet, in case diet is littlebit increase or decreased try to be happy and always do yoga and exercise regularly as known to us that dibetes is not any desies.
Within 2014 I have brought down my HBA1C from 11.6% to 7.9% without medication. I am 61.
Since three weeks I have reduced carbohydrates to about 175 grams but in the first four weeks I brought down HBA1C from 11.6% to 9.0% consuming 6x100 gram tortillas daily (the label said carbs were 50% or 50 grams each) so my blood sugar average did come down despite more than 300 grams of carbohydrates daily. No medicines except I increased Flaxseed from two tablespoonful to four and took 2 gram cinnamon. It is for this reason I have slight reservation in agreeing totally with medfree.
