[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 214409, member: 33342"] How long have you been testing for? Do you know what your HbA1c was when you were diagnosed? A month is still a relatively short time and, depending on how high your blood sugars were in the first place, and how high your insulin resistance is, it can take a while for your BG to drop. How much carbohydrate are you eating? Can you comfortably eat any less? I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing to try you out on a diet only approach first. The first line of treatment, if they put you on meds, will probably be Metformin, which will only help to drop your BG by a point or two. If you really think that this isn't working for you, you should go back to your Doctor and ask for more help. Good luck Stephen [/QUOTE]
