No but I try really hard to follow dietary guide lines for diabetics, anything to avoid daily insulin injections.

Metformin 2000 Mg. and Glimepiride 8 Mg. daily. The Metformin doesn’t always give me diarrhea but when it does, get outta my way if you’re between me and the bath room.

I typically keep my net carbs under 75g/day. That’s a relatively low number by Western standards, but not uncommon with respect to the Paleo, Atkins, South Beach, etc diets. Fats and proteins essentially provide the energy. I’m making the move to “healthier” fats and working hard to keep the sodium under 1500mg/day for vascular. My BG is now normal without medication. Also a brisk walk 15 min/day for both BP and BG.
