I am Type 2 on the lower end of the spectrum. It also runs in my family.

To the ones on insulin, have your Dr's ever thought about trying you in Byetta? I was diagnosed during a surgery pre-op, was thrown on insulin to control it thru surgery then after surgery he put me on Byetta which controlled it fine and then we dropped to pills.

My brother is a raging diabetic, was on insulin for several years and his sugar still bounced, I told him about Byetta, his Dr was willing to try it and now his sugar is well under control. Sometimes taking insulin isn't the answer I've found out. You can find out info on Byetta at this link.

There is also an excellent website out now with all sorts of helpful info as well as recipes and what foods will trigger your sugar to rise etc.

Also someone mentioned calorie king which is a little book you can carry with you which lists the carb content of foods and fast food restaurants. You can pick up the book at most bookstores or you can access the info online or purchase the book online at this link.
