On doctor's advice: No meds, low-carb (70g/day). Daily 3-mile walk + 30mins home exercise. I don't use a blood-glucose meter. Before diagnosis: Decades on "low-fat" diet but liberally consumed rice, pasta, potatos, bread, beer. Skinny, but had prominent "beer paunch" at diagnosis even though BMI was "only" 21.7 -- waistline was 40" but is now 34". Height 6-foot-4 (193cm).
