Hi everyone, been diagnosed now all most three months and have my first HBa1c next week not sure it's going to show any difference at all!! I'm on 4 500mg slow release metformin (no side effects) and 1 Pioglitazone 30mg a day along with low carb low fat low sugar low everything diet having around 50grams of carbs a day with some days that being zero.. I have lost a stone in weight and have upped exercise by walking and have now hit 8000 steps moving on to the 10000 a day.. and my blood fasting and bedtime are still hitting 10,11,12s. I also have high blood pressure (meds) and high cholesterol (diet refused statins).. anyone have any other ideas that may help?? At diagnoses reading was 90 which converted to 10.4.. thanks in advance
