Interesting I am type 2 diabetic also
I didn’t start eating better since 2020 but by then my A1C was 16 at that time that was when I was diagnosed with cancer the first time. Since then I eat better but sugar is hard to not eat it is in everything. Thought about just going vegetarian but I don’t think I can I love meat too much. I would love to get off of insulin all together though.

I am type 2 and watched what I ate for years, but couldn't lose the weight, even with bouncing on a mini-trampoline for an hour and a half each day for months, I lost some, but it just wasn't doing much. However, getting out to hike helped more and my A1C at its highest over the years was about 13? And it has dropped since I began the Alpha Lipoic acid, in fact most of my tests dropped, even the high cholesterol that the doc was so concerned of, I wasn't. But never-the-less, I managed to lose 6 pounds in a month going on it, heart rate and blood pressure is well within normal range now. A1C level dropped. My friends husband who passed away had sugar levels they have never seen before. He would have levels of like 2300 and was still walking and talking. Usually that high, people are dead. Like I said though, my doc is now recommending this to all her patients now! One of the most important reasons for me to go on it was because of the neuropathy... cont below

I appreciate your struggles
I don't have diabetes but some family/friends do. FYI a friend was on insulin said she hated it, felt not great and decided to be ultra rigid re her diet and go off insulin. Her doc refused to be her doc if she did that and she said fine and found a new doc. Has been off insulin and doing.ok for 8 years
now. I know everyone is different. Good luck and healing 💜🙏🙏
