My husband was diagnosed a few years back with type II and at first it was his number was pre-diabetes and then it was Type II. He is taking glucophage for it and trying to diet and exercise. Hard at times. We do the small meals and test his sugar. We did learn that some of the over counter meds he was using for pain helped to spike his sugar. Do go to some of the diabetic web sites and read up on everything. Mayo Clinic also has a very good book out that I just saw at Barnes and Noble. No matter what type of medical care you need, you have to be informed and ask questions. If not happy with you doctor, try some else. Good Luck.
