I have had diabetes for 4 years now. I did really well in the beginning and got my A1C down from 10.46 to around 5. I have since fallen off the wagon big time. I am up to 12. If any one has any suggestions and advice please feel free to comment

Welcome to the Forum!

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better.

A diabetes diet is not about restrictions - it's how everyone should eat - lean proteins, low fat, unprocessed carbs from fruits and vegetables and plenty of exercise. Good luck with your control and management.
