[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 420042, member: 21149"] Hi. Your blood sugar reading does confirm diabetes but I suspect with the better diet and Metformin your blood sugar will become near normal and your diabetes will still be there but under full control by diet and perhaps the Met. Eye tests are good for anyone and they are simple and useful and carried out every year. I must admit I never had Desmond so don't even know what it offers. If it offers silly NHS dietary advice such as 'have starchy carbs with every meal' politely completely ignore it; hopefully the NHS has now started to offer valid dietary advice for diabetics. BTW many/most T2 diabetics feel fine even with their high blood sugar at diagnosis so don't be fooled by feeling OK. The HBa1C blood test will tell you where you are on the scale. [/QUOTE]
