    Consider limiting the amount of starchy food to 1/4 of your meal, and do not drink anything sweet. Have 2 fruits a day but no fruit juice. Milk--2 cups a day at the most. Take a walk for 20 minutes everyday. See the rest of our website for more information. You can have a A1c test done every 3 months which will indicate how you have been doing, if you can't get daily blood sugar testing.
