Yes, getting diagnosed with diabetes was the kick in the pants I needed to change my life. I lost over a hundred pounds and was able to control my diabetes through exercise and diet for a long time. After having a child, though, I never went back to that stage even though I lost the baby weight and more. So I currently am on medication but I definitely still consider my management to be successful. With long-acting medication I keep myself very stable without dramatic highs or lows. I am a complete gym junkie and I stick to low-glycemic eating – smaller meals more frequently, whole grains, the whole nine yards. The result is that I am healthier than I was in my 20’s.
As for what made you most successful, I’d say just really micromanaging my diet and finding that low-glycemic eating works so well with my blood sugars. I’m much better off never going to high because I have fewer lows that way. I also picked up a couple of sports that I love, and that keeps me motivated to maintain my weight loss.

Many type 2’s are “pill popping” slackers . . unwilling to make dietary sacrifices. Others comply with dietary restrictions and are able to ween themselves off the meds . . everyone is different.
Diet Guidelines
Blood Sugar Management
Wal-Mart Testing Supplies
One diabetic strategy is to consume very small low-carbohydrate meals about every 2 hours, with perhaps a sugar-free jello or pudding snack in between. Calculate approximate daily calorie consumption for weight loss objectives.
Wal-Mart sells a 16-ounce bag of World Kitchens beef jerky for around $9.00 . . cut up and weigh 1-ounce portions. Jennie-O turkey franks (cut up and boil to reduce fat and sodium). String cheese sticks. 1-ounce portions of peanuts. Sam’s caffeine-free diet cola has zero carbs, calories, and sodium.
Blend sugar-free pudding powder with water and low-carb (around 4 grams) vanilla yogurt instead of milk for 1/2 cup servings. For a sugar-free slushy, blend 1/2 cup vanilla pudding with around 1-1/4 cup A&W diet root beer and 6 ice cubes.
Prepare 1/2 cup portions of sugar-free jello in 1-cup containers. If desired, sugar-free vanilla pudding can be added before chilling.
Sugar-free chocolate pudding makes good fudge pops.
Make sandwich/omelet rolls and small pizzas using low-carb tortillas.
Wal-Mart sells round screw-together containers in the craft bead section which are suitable for take-along beef jerky and peanut 1-ounce portions. The large size measures approximately 2.50” inside diameter by .75” deep, and costs around $2.00 per assembly of 4 containers.
Might also consider taking a daily multi-vitamin, and a 81mg aspirin (if not adverse).

On one of the Diabetes forums, a lady exercises by running up and down her stairs before eating and has been able to not use Metformin to keep her sugar level. Just passing it on.
