Just got back from my first review, diagnosed mid January with fasting bg at 16, HBA1C 12.1, and Cholesterol at 7.1, turns out I had a slight misunderstanding with the doc, should have taken 1 metformin a day for a week then stepped up to 2 a day, only been taking 1 for the last 8 weeks but guess I must be doing something right diet and exercise wise, weight down about 8lbs (only another 70 to go), fasting bg (self tested) down to about 6.8, HBA1C now at 8.8, Cholesterol down to 3.5, come back in 3 months, keep taking the pills!

Seems you can teach an old dog new tricks after all.

Regards

Mike

Hi. Great news. I suspect if you just keep up the better diet together with gym and 2 pills your Hba1c will continue to drop hopefully down below 7.
