New to Diabetes forum, I am a 70 yrs old male.
About 10 yrs ago I found out my a1c was 5.9 (41) For 2 years I was taking glipizide, started diet and exercise and lost 70 pounds. Stopped glipizide and now 8 years of no medicine. I am on a strict diet and more or less eat almost the same food everyday, no wheat,rice, red meat, sweets, canned food,root veggies, almost no dairy. Easily said but it's not an easy task
