    I am a type 2 diabetic. I highly recommend and absolutely swear by a product called "Total Lean Thermo CLA" by GNC. This product alone has dropped my daily glucose numbers by at least 20 points!! I take 2 pills 2x a day. Before using this product my daily glucose numbers were anywhere between 135-165. Now I am consistently between 98-125. My A1c was 7.7 now it is 6.1.....I also walk on the treadmill or walk 1 mile daily. Takes about 20min. Strength training with weights also helps....nothing to serious. I also recommend a book titled, "Diabetes for Dummies by Alan L Rubin, MD. This book is AMAZING! As for diet, I recommend a book titled, "Flat Belly Diet Diabetes!" by Liz Vaccariello. This is a great book and diet plan. It is full of overs 200 delicious recipies and even has exercise information. Good luck to you! I am sure you can get these books on Amazon.com or look them up on the internet.
