HI,
I don't know if you follow a Low Carb Diet, but that is one way to get your Blood levels down, it definatly works for me, and a lot of other type 2 members.
If you read the low carb/LCHF forums you will get the idea, also watch fruit it contains a lot of sugar.
Im happy to help if you give me some idea of your current diet.
Good luck with the op

Definitely recommend a low carb diet.

I was on maximum dose of Metformin and Gliclazide as well as insulin and now on no medication at all with great blood sugar results.

I did the Newcastle diet to lose weight and have been on a low carb diet (approximately 50g a day) for four months now and have maintained my weight as well as good blood sugars.

Have a read here: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/low-carb-diabetes-diet.html

Good luck

Jim
