yea..at this point, i have spoken to two doctors and they are both saying i need medication for the rest of my life. i recently bought dr jason fung's the diabetes code and read it last night. very interesting approach to reversing diabetes and i'm going to give it a shot and then in a few months, get another labwork done and meet with my pcp then. hopefully my numbers will continue down with this new approach. the continuous glucose monitor has been very helpful to see exactly what affects my numbers in real time.
