The first and most important thing is to look at what you have eaten and learn from it so you don't go high again.Walking is also useful for reducing blood glucose.A whole heap of us have reduced our blood glucose levels by  "eating to our meter" i.e. checking the blood sugar levels before we eat and 2 hours after we eat to identify which foods cause blood sugars to spike.Like [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] above I would recommend the SD Codefree meter to use as a monitor as the test strips are the cheapest (and in the early days you will use a lot!).I would suggest also that rather than relying solely on your doctor you learn as much as you can about Type 2 and take control of your own health. You are the one with Type 2 not your doctor.Great that you want to control by diet alone and it is achievable especially if your Type 2 is caught relatively early. An HbA1c of 62 is not amazingly high so I reckon by your next test by following a low carb diet you should be able to bring it down quite a lot.</blockquote>
