yeah dude you got to get your diet down.

My average is 81 and 2 hours after a meal is around 120-130, NOW. This was not the case last year though.

I don't take pills or shots to control my diabetes. I control it with diet, excercise and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) with biotin before every meal and a good daily supplement.

All's I did was went by what my dietition said. No more than 15 g. of sugar per meal up to 6 meals a day.

A glass of milk has around 9g of sugar and this is the most sugar I will ever get in a meal is from my milk.

The only thing I drink now is water, milk and protien shake with milk.

Focus more on protien than carbs and watch the fat intake.

Last month I went to the doc for a checkup and she was so impressed with my bloodwork that she said she couldn't even tell I was a diebetic anymore.

That tells me that i'm doing the right thing by watching my diet and working out regularly.

Thats pretty inspiring, ALA and biotin before meals, I'll try that. My Dr. suggested nutri system because they have a type II diabetic program. With my scheduel the pre prepared route might be best. Any thoughts on that, thanks.

I don't know anything about nutrisystem.

If the doc recommends it, then maybe it works.

I myself would rather further educate myself with diet and training so I know better how to control it.

Have you checked out his site?
