I was on Avandia a few years ago, but didn't feel well taking it. My doctor put me on glucophage and glipizide, which worked well for a while.
Luckily, my wife helped me get my diabetes under control before things got worse -- by focusing on lots of veggies, salads, soups, juicing, etc. that she got from a book she got from Amazon.com. My BS went down from an average of 164 to 107 and my a1c dropped from a high of 7.1 to 6.5 to 5.4%, and I lost 37 pounds. It has a 'weird' title written by an engineer who almost DIED but the book really helped (with my wife's support of course)!!
p.s. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention the author's name or the title of his book, so I'll leave it out unless someone says it's okay.
