Welcome! New here myself, only diagnosed Friday 21st December 2018 (but that only confirmed my suspicions that had been growing over the 6 weeks previously). Very pleased myself to find this place, people are friendly and helpful.
Personally, my biggest advice to anyone would be: listen to what everyone says, get the facts, then make your own educated decision on your treatment. After all it is YOUR treatment. For that to work of course you need the facts, so I have been doing lots of reading, seen lots of conflicting advice and come to the conclusion that its results that count. If what you are doing is working - keep at it. If not, then look to change it based on facts and then see how it works for YOU.
To answer the question though - I am on Glimepiride 2mg a day (but only for 4 days so far). My finger prick readings have gone down from 27.9mmol/L (worst ever) to 8mmol/L (best ever).
