You need to establish a dr history asap cuz their first line will be diet and lifestyle, they will never suggest meds right away at those numbers even if you tell them this. They will send you to a dietician first. You will have to find a progressive dr that wants to treat EARLY, which if you are reaching numbers of 180 I do not consider it early but doctors do.

There are a great many supplements that aid in lowering glucose also. Start researching and becoming your own best advocate. Knowledge is power, learn everything you can about it.
I take R-lipoic, Benfotiamine which are said to help stabilize blood sugar. I take metamucil too and Moringa Oleifera which other than their intended purpose claim to help the blood sugar.

I have an endocrinologist, in fact, i will be seeing him on monday.

Lets see what he has to say...
