I guess I have to make a doctor's appointment or control my diabetes by diet. We have to be out of the house for three weeks and were trying to stay in the motel that was near the doctor's office, but we might have to stay at the one near the Casino. (They will probably kick me out, because I will be shouting You are going to lose all your money1! . Anyway since I hate taking pills (except multi-vitamins, Vitamin C, herbs,. etc. I was wondering if any had any success using diet to control diabetes? I also exercise and no lectures please about what diabetes does to your body, foot falling off, etc. just curious about successes or failures.

Since you said you are pre-diabetic then you can control it by diet and exercise,you can ask your doctor to help you set up a diet plan to fit your needs and help you and if you get the right foods and stay away from the wrong ones it should help it a lot while my mom was eating right and exercising her sugar stayed normal for a long time till she went back to eating wrong and stopped exercising totally.

I do a lot of exercise, but my sugar is still high in spite of the medicine. My doctor thinks that it will come down, but we are now on a strict budget since we got the house fixed up and so it will go back up high because the food that will bring it down low is too expensive.

Strict or not you gotta take care of yourself cause if you don't who will? I wonder if there is any programs that will be able to help you? Some will help you supplement your income and you would be able to purchase those extra needed foods.

I think it depends on your family history and whether you are type one or two. Type one is all right, but type two there is a stigma against it. They think you picked up on sugary and fatty snacks when you were young and diabetes is a punishment.
