I'm having problems managing Type 2 Diabetes with medication

I don't want you to misunderstand, I did not just add fresh produce to my diet. I completely changed what I eat based on the glycemic index and I have eaten fresh food from the garden since I was a teenager. It takes a lot of planning and study to have what you eat make a drastic change in your blood sugar and your health. I gave up baking desserts totally. That was a sacrifice. I did not depend on Metformin as a "cure" but have taken it as an aid but I wake up very hungry in the morning. And I had to lose weight for success.
If I can stay active, I believe I can get to an A1C of 6.0 this year. It's the food and exercise, not the pills! Dorisena.

@dorisena I agree, and I did know that you had produced fresh produce and eaten well from your efforts always, but giving up the sweets is difficult but doable. I am having trouble with that now but I am exercising a lot. My last two A1c results were under 5 but since then I have been eating more baked goods so I need to get back to what I had been doing. I'm quite certain that exercise is a huge help.
