Sure... the first thing I did was change my diet to remove as many sugars and carbs as I could. For breakfast I would get sausage burritos from Burger King, throw away the tortilla and eat the sausage and egg. The little onion and pepper pieces hardly count for anything. Lunch was my only carb load of the day, either two pieces of bread for a sandwich or a single hamburger bun. Dinner was either a large dinner salad topped with meat (grilled chicken or beef) or a plain hamurger patty with mixed frozen vegetables w salt and butter.

Meds started at 1000 mg of Metformin w/ the evening meal, along with lovistatin and lisinopril. After a few weeks they had me add 500 mg Metformin w/ breakfast and an 84mg aspirin at night.

In terms of supplements, I really made serious gains after adding 500mg of magnesium and 600mg chromium in with the nightly stuff. Both of these have an effect on how insulin is absorbed in the body. It's quite possible I've been magnesium deficient. In addition I've always taken 5000 iu of vitamin D per day, the kind I use is not from fish oil, those little capsules are only 400 iu, these are 5000iu tablets.

Worst advice I had through all this? The nutritionist. My doc sent me to his in house nutritionist, she told me I could add 30g of carbs per meal. Doing that spiked my sugar by 50 points. It took a week to undo her advice. She also had me taking fish oil, I ran out of that about the same time I started the magnesium/chromium and that's when I saw the big, dramatic drop start so I haven't added fish oil back yet.

Testing, my doc has me running tests 3 times a week. Usually I do a morning fast trst just before breakfast, every now and then I'll do a pre-dinner test.

Exercise - minimal. I have a pre-existing condition called Spinal Stenosis, basically my spine is closing in and crushing my spinal cord. This is why my diabetes went uncontrolled so long, I already had peripheral neuropathy in my feet from the stenosis. This makes anything more than simple walking difficult.
