Diet and exercise. You really should get medical insurance because there can be a situation one day where you have an emergency and the hospital bill can be huge. I don't know where you live, but in California the state has a program (MRMIP) for people with high risk conditions, diabetes being one of them. It's a program where medical insurance companies cover people with pre-existing conditions. It's not free though.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

You are being penny wise and pound foolish. The way to prevent diabetic complications is to keep TIGHT control of your blood sugar.

You can try exercise and weight loss - that is enough to eliminate diabetes in some people. Keep your diet free of sugar - very difficult to do.

You may need to be on oral medications to keep the blood sugar down. If your sugars stay high, you can look forward to blindness, numb hands and feet, heart attacks and strokes, vascular disease, wounds that won't heal, kidney failure and dialysis, and more.

A trip to the doctor's office now can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars later (dialysis isn't cheap). Call your local hospital and ask if there are any reduced cost clinics in your area. Most teaching hospitals have them.

Good luck, and take care of yourself!

Good health comes from a BALANCE in our DIET, REST AND EXERCISE.
There are many things that can be done to overcome type II diabetes, and improve the life of a Type I diabetic.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

If you are serious about not being falling victim to diabetes needlessly, get a copy of "One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
It helped me, and my brother, who was dying. We lead mostly normal lives now. Best of luck.

My advice is to see a doctor anyway, however if you can't you need to adjust your short acting insulin.

I recently went on a new insulin called Levamir. This is a long acting insulin (24 hours).

When I went on this I had to increase my short acting insulin (humalog - Canada - called something else in the USA).

With these ultra fast acting insulins you can figure out how many carbs you can eat per unit of insulin.

This allows for EXACT control.

So the short answer is - see a doctor and get on ultra fast acting insulin and learn to do carb counting as it pertains to diabetes - which is different than dieting carb counting.
