Diabetic? So am I. Would like to know how you cope with it.

I was diagnosed with type II diabetes 4 years ago. I was put on tablets (metformin and gliclazide). However despite that, my control was poor. My HbA1c ranged from 8.4 to 9.3.

However six months ago, I decided to change my diet. My blood glucose levels started dropping and the last two blood tests done shows by HbA1c at 7.4 and 6.5 (done last month). My latest fasting blood sugar was 5.3.

Since Jan this year, I am on NO MEDICATIONS. I control just with my diet. My cholesterol is great , I have lost weight and have so much more energy now.

I am interested in knowing how you are coping with your diabetes. What things you do to help control it.

Thank you
