[QUOTE="Gargoyletaz, post: 2695315, member: 552053"] Hi everyone, Sorry it's been a while. I realised by the end of January that my tolerance to carbs was greatly lower than previous years when I slipped into prediabetic levels. I started Merformin the beginning of February and I am now on 4 x 500mg a day. My doctor arranged for another HBA1C test mid April. My pre meal levels are still 'high' in the late 7s or 8s, but my post meal levels hardly move. At worse, the rise is well within 2 mmol. I am on a keto diet because I'm all or nothing when it comes to bread, potatoes, rice etc [emoji39] I am absolutely over the moon to say my HBA1C came back today as 41! Non diabetic range [emoji16] I honestly couldn't have done it without this forum and everyone who posts on here. My advice to anyone newly diagnosed is: 1) get a glucose monitor 2) cut down on carbs (potatoes & bread in any form, rice and pasta in any colour) 3) check the carb content of foods you regularly eat & make any changes that you can 3) cut out anything sugary 4) understand sugar free does not mean carb free [emoji43][emoji94] 5) don't let diabetes control you, take control of your diabetes 6) ask questions on here. There is always someone on here that will know the answer [emoji4] There is life after diagnosis [emoji846] [/QUOTE]
