1) Control your diet. Stay away from sugary food like colas, sports drinks, energy drinks, candybars, cakes, ice cream . . . . Eat more fibers (salads, broccoli, whoel-gerain cereasl), and reduce your starches (breads, crackers, rice, potatoes, especially french fries). Do not skip meals. Stay away from junk food.

keep a diary of what you eat AND you blood sugar readings. You will often see strange things. Like, some diabetics can eat bagels, but others cannot. Don't know why . . . .

2) Take your meds exactly as directed. DO NOT skip a dose.

3) Keep a measure on your blood sugars. Take readings AT LEAST 3 times a day, usually just before meals, but always as your doctor directs.

4) Keep in constant touch with your doctor. Tell them if you get sick (like a cold) or you blood sugars suddenly go too high for no reason.

Treating type 2 diabetes soon after diagnosis isn't difficult but it means you have to go through some lifestyle changes, not an easy task but it has to be done.

By life style changes what I mean is to adjust your food intake to smaller but healthy well balanced meals that are lower in carbs., exercise is critical in that it burns excess glucose and you need to take medications if prescribed.

It's really that simple but it takes discipline and it's not easy to say no to (bad) foods you have become accustomed to and it won't happen overnight, with me it took 3 years to get it right.

Avoid sugar and high amounts of carbohydrates. Eat balanced meals with whole grains at regular times. Losing weight helps control diabetes.
