You don't have to give up all "good" food because you are diabetic. I've had it for 10 yrs (57 yo woman) and take meds 3x/day. Keep in mind that you need to watch ALL carbs, not just sugar. Bread & rice can send your sugar up as fast as a candy bar. I try to eat some protein everytime I eat. So if I want a cookie, I have some skim milk. Or a hunk of cheese with some crackers. It helps stabilize blood sugar. Exercise is supposed to help, but honestly, I'm a couch potato. Hope this helps a little. Hang in there.
