High back in '15 (160/90/95), then diagnosed with Type II. Dr put me on Losartan (50mg). Today & for the last 2 years I've been able to control it - now (115/60/58) still on same meds. Controlled my weight at normal range (BMI 24). Cut out everything possible that could cause spikes, anything processed, breads & pastries, read the labels for sodium content, try to keep it below 2000 mg daily, that's extremely hard! Take 3 Tbsp raw apple cider vinegar daily (1 before meals), nothing more. Cut out all OTC supplements, only one 81 mg aspirin/Vit D/BP med/insulin. Cut out red meats eat more natural fruits & veggies, cut other meats including (shudder!) fish to 3-4 oz servings.
Coffee/beans/sweet potatoes/eggs - my mainstays.
