Hello everyone. First time poster. I was diagnosed with Type 2 last summer with an hba1c of 54. I'd had a blood test for symptoms which I have been told were not related to diabetes (headaches) and this had come up as part of that. I was badly overweight and did zero exercise, so I'm not proud...

Has anyone else experienced this? I've been diagnosed pre-D for almost a year and been able to keep things within the pre-D range with a combination of LCHF diet and eventually metformin.
