I've been surprised at just how quickly my fitness levels have improved and I've only been diagnosed for 2 months (31 August).  Nothing like an altered reality to give you a swift kick up the rear (for me at least!).  Keep in mind that it will take time for your HBA1C levels to come down - remember that when they do the test, it takes an average of the glucose levels, so it is to a degree a history of what your levels were.  Personal testing is good - I do this - from this you definitely learn what makes your levels spike and what to avoid.  Either way, good luck and keep posting!  Everyone is very helpful here and you can learn far more from them then a lot of what any docs or nurses would tell us (and believe me some of the nurses need to go back and get retrained!).</blockquote>
