Five years ago, I was diagnosed. The medication that I was on made me sick; I just could not take it, so I researched and decided to control it through diet, exercise, supplements, vitamins, constant testing and record keeping. I cut portions, carbs, experimented with a gluten free diet and learned to get my protein in other ways. I also found foods that I could eat which would make the pancreas less resistant to releasing insulin. "Eat Right For Your Blood Type" is an excellent book to read and it became my bible. As long as I eat correctly and enough food, my sugar is under control; A1c = 6.1 for five years. Once I had a problem with tingling feet. A friend told me about Benfotiamine. I researched and added 900 mgs a day along with 600 mgs of the Alpha Lopic Acid I was already taking and my circulation is fine now. I take green tea extract, lutein, chrominum, omega 3-6-9, multivitamin, vit. C. One day I decided to eat , exercise and take no supplements. To my suprise my numbers were amazingly under control. Morning 108, three hours after a meal 98. I get lower readings when I eat more fruits and vegetables and small amounts of meat. I am 70 years old as of last month and play tennis four to five times a week. Tuesday, I started volunteering to coach beginner tennis children at a summer camp. I work out with the kids running up and down hills, exercising and drilling with them. They don't know it but I am having fun while they complain about being hot and tired. I really think that diabetics can be reversed but you have to eat to win. I am convinced that diabetics can be reversed. Five years ago, I was diagnosed.

We try to manage Tristan's diabetes the best that we can because we want him to be healthy for a very long time! That is incentive enough for us. Now if somebody was going to give us money for a better A1C... Great! But that would be a reward for our hard work, not an incentive! :) Honestly I don’t think that for us that would be an incentive at all!
