I was able to lower my arc by watching the serving sizes of my dogs and stop eating as many carbs. This also helped me to lose 37 pounds. My a1c went from 11.7 to 5.8.i No longer take insulin but I do still take metformin. I am hoping that with changing diet and exercise I can lower the amount of our stop taking medication for my diabetes.

    I use a Libre Freestyle Sensor. No more needle sticks. I'm able to get real time readings from the sensor, and that enabled me to manage intake. Hunger and high blood sugar feel the same. If I think I'm hungry and check the sensor reading, and I'm high, I wait a while or exercise. If I'm low, I know to eat. I lost about ten pounds and dropped my A1c a point.
