Mine isn't completely reversed yet but I did get myself off insulin. After I left my husband in 2013 and got a job and health insurance, the first time I went to the doc my A1c was over 11. He immediately put me on insulin. By that time I'd been diabetic for a good 13 years.

Around the same time I moved into a building with two perfect walking tracks. An indoor track with up and down staircases and a nice sidewalk around the outside of the building. It took awhile but I lost enough to get off insulin. I walked for quite a few months but I wore out my shoes and haven't found a pair I'm happy with yet.

Right now I take Metformin. My last two A1c's were 5.9 and 6.2.

For me using the meter, and the scales and food diary helped me figure out the specific foods I need to avoid. They are potatoes, bananas, grapes and orange juice. A small order of fast food french fries will make my blood sugar go up and stay up for a full 3 days and I'll gain 2 to 3 pounds.

I don't have diabetes, but my dr. put me on the keto diet for female issues and weight loss. As I've done research, it is incredible how many people are beating diabetes with low carb/ keto diet. Watch the magic pill on Netflix. I'm not sure how it would affect your other health issues, so talk to your drs. But it sounds like its definately worth looking into!!!

Interval training...drops Ac1 like a stone.

Its not anything i know very much about however I did recently hear an edition of the bbc's Food programme where a man had reversed his diabetes by following a low carb diet. I think the gist of it was even if youre avoiding sugar carbs will break down into sugars anyway
