Hi
Just wanted to say hi and how grateful I am already that forums like this exist. I got told yesterday I am diabetic - my A1C level is 62. Doctor has started me on metformin- 1 a day for week 1, 2 a day for week 2 then 3 a day after that for 3 months until next blood tests. After a minor meltdown yesterday about how the hell have I got her at 32, I’m now feeling positive and ready to manage this as best I can. Doctor has said no daily glucose tests so flying blind till December with knowing whether medications and diet is working but taking the line that if I do it all by the book then surely it will!
