I hope that I may be able to help. I have been a type 2 diabetic since the first week of July 1991. My first blood sugar reading was 468 mg/dl which was very high. I was supposed to be on several anti-diabetes pills. I begged our family physician to allow me to try D&E control method. He said OK but I have to pass a stress test first. As soon as I passed it the following day, I started running the stairs for a total of 2 hours per day in as many sessions as I could do. After the first 10 days of stair-running, my blood sugar readings were already in the 130 - 140 mg/dl range. I reported this to our physician and he encouraged me to continue my exercise. The food I have been eating must be heart-healthy, natural, fresh (raw or cooked), unprocessed, and whole. Long story short, 25+ years later, I am still on D&E, my past A1c's were between 5.2% and 6.3% (5.8% on 10/03/16), I have never had hypos and diabetes complications, and have been enjoying life like I have no diabetes. After 3 1/2 years of doing 2 hours of daily exercise, I reduced it to between 0 and 30 minutes and stopped testing my blood sugar. After 3 1/2 years, I decided to test and my blood sugar was 486 mg/dl. I nearly fainted. I resumed my stair running and did a 1 hour run. I retested and the bs reading was much less than 300 mg/dl. Since then I have been running the stairs for no less than an hour a day. So far so good.Bonny C DamoclesMale, 80 1/2 years old, 137 lbs., 5'7"Not on any pharma drugs for any health problem</blockquote>
