Some people with diabetes have claimed they have controlled the disease with extended use of blueberry leaf tea, so it may be worth adding to your diet.
i just read today that cinnamon can lower your blood sugar, I went and got some in th vitamin section to try, I hope this helps.
Concentrating on low GI foods such as beans, nuts, spaghetti, oranges and apples and avoiding high GI foods such as potatoes, dates, corn flakes, table sugar, white bread and white rice would help.
You can find further information in a search for "glycemic index tables".
I would suggest to talk to your doctor before you get off your meds because dying is more bad for your health than taking them.
