No Diabetes Meds

(diagnosed in August 2016 - so 7 years diabetic and last A1C was 5.6% - the highest it has been in 6 years but not crying about that number) - if you don't stuff the wrong foods in your mouth you don't have to medicate away the resultant high blood sugar

I do take a Statin (recommended by Diabetes Canada for all diabetics whether or not their cholesterol is high or normal) and an ACE Inhibitor for blood pressure - again, same reason as a prophylactic since "most" diabetics die from some form of heart disease - easier to try and prevent then treat and deal with
