Thanks for all of the quick responses, I really appreciate everything.

I do have one more question - just wondering if it is possible to control diabetes (over the long term) with only diet and exercise ? From what I read it is a progressive disease that just gets worse with time ...

I was diagnosed three months ago with a fasting BG of 365 and now through massive changes to my diet (following the Bernstein diet) and exercising (twice a day) my fasting BG is now around 94mg/dcl. Generally after eating my BG only rises around 10-15mg/dcl and returns back to the fasting average within 3 hours (or so). I am not sure if these numbers are good or not or how long it will be possible for me to manage without taking oral medicines (or having to go on insulin). This is just a very scary disease ...

Thanks,

Adam
