I have a friend whose doctor wanted to hospitalize him the DAY he was diagnosed, but he begged for some time to try with diet to get the limits down. The doctor gave him a week. In that week, his wife (a health food nut or guru, depending on your position) started him on supplements and made diet changes. In a week, the doctor was stunned. He's been fine with diet ever since.
When my husband received the same news (dangerously high, medication called for immediately, but he was not menaced with hospitalization that day), he, too, begged for time to see if he could lower the levels. I called my friend and said "What do I do; tell me exactly." When my husband went back in two weeks, the doctor said, "Keep doing whatever you are doing; as of now, you simply don't have diabetes, and I'm removing the diagnosis from your chart." We both get blood checks once a year. He has had no spikes, and remains a person who has never been diagnosed with diabetes.
It is truly amazing what you can do. Don't be discouraged.
