[QUOTE="ronkey, post: 858064, member: 183834"] Hi every one, This is my first post on this forum. in February after having some routine blood tests I was found to have type 2 diabetes, the readings were after two test were 7.6 and 7.8. I was advised to change my diet and take regular exercise, I was told to do this with out no medication. I was 17stone 4 pounds at that time, I am 6 foot 2inches tall. Over the last 3 months I have changed my diet and began to exercise, I have now lost 2 stone eight pounds, I do 12-14 miles 5 days out of seven on my exercise bike. I purchased a meter to keep tabs on my sugar levels, I tested my levels in all the ways suggested, I have found that each reading under the NICE chart have been in the normal range!!? I saw the Diabetic nurse this week for my three monthly check up after giving blood the week before. i was told by the nurse that i have diabetes, so i told her about my meter readings and asked for the reading she had been given, she said that they were very good and i should continue with all i have been doing. The nurse showed me the chart that go by and said to me that i am off the chart!!? it started at 6.3. my non fasting readings on my meter range from 4.8 to 5.4-8 non fasting. I am still confused, can some one please advise me. Thanks [/QUOTE]
