Give it time. A year ago, my sugar was out of control and doc said if I don't get it under control soon, I would have to start insulin. I started going back to the gym, lost about 40 lbs and now I'm taking less than half of my meds to keep it under control.
I will spend 2-2 1/2 hours in the gym 4-6 hours a week, doing 40-50 mins cardio each visit and then 1-1.5 hours lifting weights. I have cut out of my diet most everything that is white. This includes foods made from flour, sugar, and potatoes. I have also included 2-4 protien shakes a day along with other supplements.
Last time I had my A1C checked, it was 6.1 and my sugar usually is in the high 80's to low 100's when checked. So again, be patient and give it time. Results won't happen overnight. Stick with it and again, give it some time.
