If you want to stay off medication, in my opinion, you need to pay attention to total carb count. Foods with low GI are better, certainly, but you still need to count the carbs, no matter how much fiber they have. Also, I’ve found weight lifting to be a tremendous help in lowering blood sugar. Please don’t take this as medical advice. I’m not a dr or dietician, just a type II that’s been able to control my sugar with diet and exercise.
