Good luck. My late mother was Type 1 back in the days of no self monitoring of blood sugar and reusable syringes you had to clean with boing water.

On edit: There are some supplements I take to help control pre-diabetes: Ceylon Cinnamon & Jerusalem Artichoke (the latter is really cheap on Amazon, or was last I ordered it - around $6).
