I have taken glucosamine and metformin.in my past I am taking nothing at this point.I only feel something when my blood sugar levels are low tried and run down and maybe sweatie, when there hi but not offen i eat a lot of small meals to moderate that roller coaster ride of blood sugar levels up and down you can definitely feel the drop after alot of sugar.My breakfast and lunch when I go kayak fishing consist of water a banana which I eat first to get off the boat provides potassium with water to help prevent cramps.
Water,banana,peanutbutter&jelly sandwich and 1/2 of a turkey pastrami sandwich if your still hungry you can always eat raw...fish.lol
Your covered carb,protein and fructose sugar I have to have coffee first which helps to dehydrate you good luck

diet and exercise is the best thing to help with diabetes

One of my best kayak fishing and bike riding buds is a diabetic, I learned a lot about nutrition from our experiences.

The best "on the go" snack was the PowerBar Performance energy bar: 2:1 glucose to fructose, carbohydrate and protein exchanges as recommended by the American Diabetic Association. We used to work events for PowerBar, they were very popular with diabetics. The PowerBar Protein Plus Reduced Sugar protein bar is also good and is a little more substantial than the Performance bar. The Clif Bar Builders Bar is also good.

My friend drinks Diet Pepsi, but in the kayak or on the bikes, it was pretty much 100% water. He also carried glucose tabs just in case.
