| It sounds like at this point he should be concentrating on a low carb diet and not worrying about fat and salt. In general, the less processed the food is the better. Avoid sugar, rice, pasta (except Dreamfields), most cold cereals (All-Bran is ok), and anything made with white flour. You need to read the nutrition labels on everything to find it's carb content per serving. The Glimepiride should start working right away to help lower the BG levels.
Just as important as the meds and diet is exercise. Any exercise is better than none. Even a short walk after meals should help bring the glucose levels down and increase his energy.
