I have an Endocrinologist who is I have been told the best in the area. I
was put on insulin when my A1c reached 7.0. It has only gone higher and
higher since being put on the insulin. I was taking very high doses of 4
different ones. And nothing was working. The Dr. and I were both getting
frustrated.

I don't know what the Interwebby is. I don't really care.

And now that I have changed my diet, all sorts of problems I was having have
resolved. Including the blood sugar issues. According to the books I have
read by Dr. Mark Hyman, food intolerances can raise blood sugar.
