“Can I control type 2 diabetes with diet alone?”

Some people can & some cannot. You didn't tell me your wt. so I can only speak in general. If you still have beta cell that make insulin & thus insulin resistance associated with obesity the answer is yes you can probably control the diabetes with diet, exercise & wt. loss. Medication may be needed until you have lost enough wt. to reduce insulin resistance but then you may come off meds. Remember though that diabetes is an inherited disease and you cannot change your genetics. So if you are successful in controlling your diabetes without meds, if you regain the weight, stop exercising & dieting the diabetes will be back with a "blaze" So don't stop!!

There is a good possibility that you may be able to control type 2 diabetes with diet alone if you are overweight. Regular aerobic exercise for 30 minutes a day will also help.
