[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 932605, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, I'm not going to add to the advice given by the others, which is excellent. Just to say, in answer to your questions, Your HbA1c reading is high but many on this forum started a lot higher. The diabetic range begins at 48. under 42 is considered non diabetic 42 to 47 is considered pre-diabetic and therefore at high risk of becoming diabetic 48 and above is diabetic. Yes, some people do control their levels by diet only, but not everyone can. Sometimes there is already too much damage done to the pancreas and therefore extra help is needed. Also, the diet has to be suitable but more importantly, sustainable, because this is for life, not for a few months. There are also other factors such as internal organ fat and a lot of insulin resistance, others have less of a problem in this respect. Some people are diet only from the outset but find they need extra help down the line, others start on meds and find they can come off them down the line, others may never need meds. No two people are the same. [/QUOTE]
