Answer 3

There are 2 types of type 2 diabetes although physicians seldom distinguish between the 2. Type 2B has a greater increase in fasting and type 2A a greater increase in post prandial glucose and you are I gather 2A. 2As typically have a body mass index of 25 or less. The goal for a pp glucose is 140 or so and you are well above this. Although I have written on Alternative and Complimentary Medicine I am not aware of an application here although it is true that the recently available sitagliptin may be ideal for you.

My Doctor just put me on Byetta. It's a NEW medication for Type II Diabetics. It's NOT insulin, but it IS injectible.
You use it twice a day, and it is SUPPOSED to have the side effect of making you lose weight!
I've been on it less than a week, so I don't have any weight-loss yet to report.
