I Was Just Diagnosed With Diabetes. My A1c Was 6.7.

I was just diagnosed with diabetes. My a1c was 6.7. I am trying to change my diet and not take metformin as prescribed. I do take tums, 2 tablets each night for gerd and calcium for osteoporosis. I just realized that Tums contain sugar. Is it still ok for me to take Tums?
