Are you on insulin with other medications? Does your doctor have you counting carbs for each meal and snack? What exercise routine do you do? How many times a week/day?

Adopt low carbohydrate diet. Avoid oily foods as well as bakery and fast foods.

Eat less food more times in a day.

Don't consume food after 7:00 pm.

Exercise daily. Brisk walking for about 30 minutes is sufficient.

Check your FBS or PPBS daily and avoid foods that cause high blood sugar.

Undergo HbA1c tests every 3 or 4 months.

Learn more about diabetes and it's complications.

I beg to differ on few points.

1) Why to avoid oily food ? Which ones ? On the contrary one should take more of good fats / oils.

2) Why to eat " Eat less food more times in a day."? Just 2-3 meals a day. How about IF ? Good fats are better than carbs. Good oils don't cause fat deposition in our body. It's carbs responsible for that.

tHERE ARE plenty of Nutritionist and M:D:s who still care about their patients Check out the Internet and find out how many natural foods there are without stopping your current medications. Afterwards u might try GREENS and HERBS (like VENADILLO) IT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DROP b/s 20 TO 100PTS, BUT EVERY PERSON IS DIFFERENT. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH TO FIND OUT WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE.
