   My aunt told me that taking cinnamon helps to metabolize sugar. You can get some at a health food or vitamin store.

   Exercise and diet are fundamental. Nothing else will effect it more than this. But cut out the coffee entirely. Anything with caffeine that you eat or drink, stop. Don’t eat a lot of sugars or salts as they raise your blood pressure. Keep fit, don’t get overweight or your blood pressure will be high. Do not engage in risky behaviors (anything that involves a lot of risk). Make sure you get enough sleep, this has a lot to do with daily blood pressure so make sure you get 8 hours. If you smoke, quit, if you do any illicit drugs, quit. All these are key factors (some more so than others) that will lower your blood pressure. I guarantee if you do all of these, your blood pressure will go down. Hope it goes down enough.

   Don’t go with anything herbal, homeopathic or any of the many many bogus cures advertised online, they’re all scams and none of them do a damn thing except cost you money.

   The best way to control your blood sugar is to control the intake of sugar in your diet, but other than that, go with the medication you’ve been given because it’ll work. Otherwise you’re risking some very very unpleasant effects, the worst of which being death.

   If you are Type I you can’t. You must have insulin to live. If you are Type II, eating complex carbs, avoiding simple carbs, exercising and some herbs and raw vegetables can help, but depending on your age, weight and blood sugar levels, it may be unavoidable. Only your doctor can answer this question. If he/she has you on medicine you must take it. Diabetes is serious and is not something to mess around with. Make sure your doctor is an endocrinologist. Many GPs have little education when it comes to Diabetes, many only know the basics. Seriously.

   If you are type 1 medication is the only way.

   If you are type 2 and overweight some have been able to reduce or eliminate the need for medication by getting their weight back to normal.

   Whatever you do, do not reduce or eliminate your medication untill your blood sugars have returned to normal and your doctor has approved.

   You can count the carbs that you take in. The carbs are the ones that make your sugar go up not the sugar it self. I used to keep my sugar levels by counting carb intakes. I would do 30 crabs per meal. You will see the difference. Exercise is also a good method with counting the carbs. Just walk 20-30 minutes after a meal.

    I suggest you get the book by Dr. Sears about dieting. He preaches that you eat balanced meals and a lot of small ones. He goes on about prediabetic symtomps and then talks about different foods and how they affect your sugar level. From everything I’ve read, small balanced meals are the answer to controlling sugar and that’s exactly what he talks about. No fad anything, just balance. You still need to be very careful and test your sugar and keep testing it on a regular basis to be sure you are in control. You will learn what foods really get your sugar up and learn to avoid them so keep records of when you eat and what your sugar is and you slowly learn how to get yourself in balance. It is a progressive disease and the most important thing you can do for yourself is keep your sugar down without getting it too low. It’s a lot of work and the reward is a longer life with all your limbs and eyesight. Never, never let up. Just learn to live with it and do whatever is necessary to keep your sugar down. If you go to a doctor that tells you diet will do it and you still don’t get your sugar down, get rid of that doctor immediately and go to one that will do whatever is necessary. I was foolish enough to go to doctors that just kept saying eat less and exercise more. That would have worked in the beginning and so I damaged myself by not doing everything I should have. The longer you can keep yourself off meds the longer you will live, but don’t do it and let your sugar get up. Never exericise with your sugar over 200. Drink lots of water and don’t get hooked on all the sugar free stuff. It’s very bad for you too. Drink that water and learn to live with it. I’m Type II and can be emailed anytime you think I can help. Be glad to!

    Have you talked to a diabetic counselor? Mine put me on a Low carb diet I get 20-25 carbs for breakfast 40-45 carbs for lunch and 40-45 carbs for dinner. I have been able to keep my levels in the normal range for the most part. I still have to watch the days I am not so active though and test when ever I am feeling funny or riddin in the car for long periods at a time. On the diet I lost 50 pounds. Which also help my cholesterol and a few other things.

    I was dummy who didn’t take metformin for 3 years—-and it really helps me. I am losing weight, and I couldn’t before because I was insulin resistent. I am on a good diabetic diet and I have never felt so positive. I am confident now using my glucose meter, and can see how my body is processing different foods. I am in control and not ignornant any more or afraid to listen to my doctor. He definately has educated me. Please don’t think u are a failure if u take a medication.

    if you are willing to do the diets then all you have to do is lose weight and get down below 100 sugar reading. eating right is the main goal. stop eating alot of startches which is rice and potatoes. you eat alot of veggies and fruit with lean meat and not fried. you can do it and you will be fne.
