I am 51 year old male. Was diagnosed 2-3 years ago type 2. Taking metformin. I believe I can get off the meds with diet and cinnamon and chromium. I did well last year, but had a couple big spikes. They say if you have if for five years you will have it forever. I've lost 100 pounds, very close to my goal.

Welcome to the Forum!

Some say that they have had success in what you are trying. I hope that it works for you.

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. Good luck with your control and management.
