I was diagnosed on Thursday.
When I got home I took my blood sugar levels with a digital reader.
It was 26. Aaaarrgghh.
I've been taking my readings pre-breakfast and at 4pm. My levels have been steadily falling.
Friday 22.6 and 16.9 (ave. 19.8)
Saturday 20.3 and 14.4 (ave. 17.3)
Sunday 17.6 and 12.8 (ave. 15.2)
That 15.2 is a 41% decrease from my initial 26 reading.
I am dieting well and have been exercising. I've also started taking metformin (1 tablet daily but doctor wants to get that to 4 per day. My diagnosis for Hb1Ac was 126.
Can I expect to see continual falls like those above, or will things start to level out pretty soon? I know everyone is different but would appreciate some thoughts.
Thanks!
