    Try watching "Forks Over Knives". This will give you knowledge on how to do a plant based diet and help lower your diabetes. This helped me a lot.

    I was just diagnosed as a diabetic, but we are going to control mine with diet and exercise! My husband is also a diabetic. Please feel free to me!

    You can go on a plant-based diet. You can eat meats once in a while, like once a week. Then more on veggies and fruits. I assure you, your blood sugar will go lower. You can also juice your fruits and veggies using a juicer.

    Hi! My suggestions are to find activities you like so you can keep moving and stay motivated, and to try new "healthy" recipes. This is a lifestyle change, so you have to find one that you enjoy and can stick to.
