If only I could manage my blood sugar that easily.

Do you do any excersise and if so what type? My gym is part of a hospital that deals with these issues and there is exercises and intensities (hit training etc)that specifically lower BS.

I use a stair stepper and work out on a good home gym, giving a good workout to the larger muscle groups. That helps the insulin do its job. I would swim every day, if I could afford it. As long as I stay on a protein diet, no fruits and limited, low starch vegetables I can keep it down, providing I stay under 2000 calories a day. I was once on insulin, metformin and glyburide, and it was difficult to get my blood sugar under 200. After a very bad surgery and a month or more of fasting, I managed to get it down to normal, and then I managed to work myself off of all the medications, and control it with diet and exercise. That lasted for about five years, and then my blood sugar started shooting up again. It hasn’t gotten as bad as it was, and I can control it until I do the least little thing wrong, like trying to add in a few fruits or breads or chocolate.
