[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 1624535, member: 44622"] After some confusion at the doctor's office I found myself in the diabetic clinic before I was diagnosed but their guess proved correct. I was given pills, lots of pills. DN said it was progressive and would get worse and it seemed she was right. It got to the point where she prescribed Glimepiride and gave me a meter. In hindsight I now know that I was given the meter to check for hypos but in error I thought that since my problem was with high glucose it was to be used to get a handle on that. I used it to see what foods did what (2011) and before long I put my knowledge into practice. My Hba1c dropped. I can't remember how I found this site (2012) but when I did I found that others had done exactly the same as me. I sort of joined in and I am still here. A memory I have from the early days was when I asked DN if I was "allowed" to know what my Hba1c was and she wrote it on a Post-It note and gave it to me. I still have it and will frame it one day. We have come on a bit since then. I have a Patient Care Record in a folder and can even get my results on line. Wow. [/QUOTE]
