He was given oral anti-diabetic medications and insulin to inject. Eventually, after the oral medications started to make his stomach feel like it was on fire, he decided to stop taking the medications, quit drinking soda and dropped his weight by 19 pounds. He felt the removal of soda from his eating plan was the main contribution to him reversing his Type 2 diabetes - not the medications.

Self-monitoring involves extracting a pin prick of blood using a lancet and then using a disposable test strip inserted into a small glucose meter to measure the glucose level in the sample of blood.
