Hi P Kumar,
Changing eating habits is one of the hardest things a Diabetic has to do BUT it is one of the most important. You SHOULD be eating 6 small meals a day keeping your total calories around 2000 per day. Regular exercise is also very important.
You might talk to your doctor about using a drug called JANUVIA. It is new and has some very good effect at keeping sugar low.
