But around 2006, I wasn't able to keep up with the lack of insulin in my system, so I had to go on meds (metformin/Byetta).

I still exercise (riding bike) 3X a week to keep the amount of meds I have to take lower. I tried cinnamon and chromium and neither seemed to work for me.

But.. peanuts for snacks.. OH YEAH!
