Why on earth did you stop your meds?   mad    "Natural" ways to control blood sugar are as follows:  cut down or cut out carbs and get into a daily routine of sustained cardio exercise.  That should be your mantra.

This exercise doesn't mean you have to run marathons or jog till you drop.  Plain old walking for 30 minutes is very helpful.

!/2 teaspoon of cinnamon is supposed to be helpful with controlling blood sugar levels. I wouldn't suggest going off your meds without a doctor's supervision, but you may want to try the cinnamon and check your sugars often to see if it helps. Oh and make sure it's Cassia cinnamon not Ceylon. Cassia is the kind most people have in the cupboard.

I have done that and fortunately I am here still. I immediately went to my doctor told him what I had done and after he scolded me he helped me get back under control. For me it was insulin, I have never stopped since.

I drank lots of water, stopped eating breads and pasta, ate a ton of salads, and walked a lot. Please be careful I also was referred to dietician at diabetic clinic that also helped a great deal.

Stick with a good diet and eat sugar free foods. Drink 2 glasses of water at each meal which will curb hunger. Have low carbohydrates.
