Go on a low carb diet and exercise regularly. Take your medications and monitor your blood levels. Carbs are your enemy!

Im a diabetic so know exactly how u feel.
Ok reduce the sugar intake if u can and carbs as well. Increase the insulin u take but closly monitor ur blood sugar levels as these are likely to drop and could cause a hypo. Keep moitioring and adjusting the insulin and food intake untill u get it down to a tee. Also ask ur diabetic doctor/nurse for helpful hints...they are the experts....apparently! Also exercise more as this will lower the sugar levels.
I exercise every night and dont eat much and mine are still wild sometimes its very frustrating so keep trying and im sure ull get there eventually, thats wat i keep telling myself :)
Good luck!

Stop eating the way your mother cooked for you. All greasy foods, fried chicken, breads sweetened with honey,syrup, molasses, buy raw sugar, or Stevia (herbal sweetener) get off all white products, and pastries, especially cakes, doughnuts, check labels on packages, in fact don't even buy packaged foods.Eat fresh and frozen fruits over canned ones. Eat lots of leafy vegetables easy on the below ground ones. Avoid white potatoes as they are all starch and sugar. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and get plenty of rest. You do not have to be a Diabetic!!

Easy, be honest about what you eat and alter your diet radically to cut out excessive intake of sugar. Eat complex carbohydrates instead as the release of energy will occur over a longer period of time and won't stress out your pancreas when it attempts regulate your blood sugar level using insulin.
Also, lay off the saturated fats (fat that's solid at room temp). For some reason sat fats exacerbate the condition of Type 2 diabetes.

Take your medications, stay within your carb range, exercise and eat healthy. Eating 5 or 6 small meals a day actually helps to keep your glucose levels from spiking up or down. This is the really tough one stress try not let everything get to you, stress can really raise your glucose levels. When it comes to diabetes you need to do all of this to stay healthy.

I've had diabetes Type 1 for 33 years and I've found the best thing to do when high is exercise and watch your carb intake.

If you have an especially high blood sugar, (over 250 md/dL) don't exercise. If you do, you blood sugar can actually go up- don't ask me why. Take some insulin to correct it. If your blood sugar is under 250 mg/dL, cardio exercise is a great way to quickly lower it.

my name is Lee Pooley, and i am a first aider for St John Ambulance, and my advice to you would be to do regular excersize and keep on checking that your blood sugar levels do not fall to much, and for further advice contact your local GP, and go onto the internet, and if you are to go to the doctors surgery, or chemist you can pick up some leaflets
