[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1304424, member: 21149"] HI. A low-carb diet is a first step if not already doing that. I assume you aren't taking steroids or similar which can raise blood sugar. What is your BMI? The GPs will have guessed T2 rather than T1 probably correctly but if you are not overweight and the diet doesn't work then do come back to the forum. The GP may start you with Metformin which is a very safe drug and usually helps a bit but diet is always a more important step. You should be having 3 monthly reviews until your blood HBa1C reading (75) comes down. [/QUOTE]
