Requiring some perspective

Messages

I found out this past Monday that I am a 71 yr old T2 diabetic. My first reading on Monday night was 13.3. I have been researching diabetes and I just received my copy of The Obesity Code, a book suggested by this amazing group. I should mention that I am not obese as that info might alter the response to my query. I am 5'8" and weight in at 140.
I have begun implementing some of Dr. Fung's suggestions and I am waiting for my next doctor's appointment to choreograph implementation of the regimen outlined in the book considering my meds which is Janumet XR 50mg/1000mg and I take 2 after breakfast.
My primary question is this. I have been watching my glucose drop steadily after some dietary implementation and my latest reading is 5.8. Is this acceptable progress for a T2 diabetic?

Many thaanks

Well done @Silverback-381 It sounds as if you are doing the right thing

Dr Fung has also written another book "The Diabetic Code" which is for Type 2 readers. It's an excellent book and I would definitely recommend a read of it too :)

We don't know what your readings are over the day, of course, but this sounds like you're not only grabbing the bull by the horns but also turning it upside down and leave it panting in the sand!

Nope, it's wonderful! Keep on doing what you do.

The Diabetes Code will complement The Obesity Code perfectly for you. In fact it’s probably more relevant but it can’t hurt to read both.

My reading first thing this AM was 7.7 and the past 2 days it has been around that number.
Okay - I will keep doing what I am doing Thank you Antje

Fantastic progress though @Silverback-381 you’re doing great!
