I'm not sure if I still count as newly diagnosed now it's been three months. Already feels like a lifetime!
Following advice on this site, I radically reduced my carb intake & also increased exercise. And here are the results:
HbA1c: Jun2012 - 80 (9.5%); Sep2012 - 49 (6.6%)
Triglyceride/HDL ratio: Jun2012 - 3.3; Sep2012 - 0.9
And in the mean time, have lost 12kg so now have a BMI of 22.
My doctor was amazed by the results and asked me how I'd done it! I am very pleased with the drop in triglycerides as I believe this ratio being higher than 2 is a risk for heart disease.
To be honest, I still feel I have a way to go with the blood glucose level as 6.6% is higher than the recommended level. But with this site and my meter I am feeling pleased with my achievement so far.
So a big THANK YOU to everyone out there for the help and advice I've received. I would have been lost without you!
