I started South Beach diet the day after I was diagnosed (13 Jan 11) and have lost 49 lbs since then. I didn't really start exercising until 2 weeks ago. Worked great and got me off all meds as with diet (low glycemic carbs) and exercise (just walking) I have been able to have an average BG reading of 103.

I am taking a diabetes education course right now and the nurse teaching the course said if you eat a snack before bed you will tend to have lower numbers in the morning because your liver will not overproduce sugars in the absence of carbs.
