First week of being diagnosed

[grante]

just thought I would post to say how I was doing .
I was tested at 11 and after approx 6 days I have lowered my carb intake and eating better. Had a couple of walks out this week too.
My weight has dropped 6lb and my I am seeing levels of 7.2 when I wake.
I tested before and after dinner yesterday and I was at 6.9 pre and 8.5 2 hours later.
I feel I have made good progress this week.

Good that you are already seeing improvements after just a few days @grante. Keep up the good work and you should make more progress.

Hello @grante and welcome to the forum. You seem to have made a great start. I don't know if you have seen the information that @daisy1 has, she'll be along shortly on this thread with great information about diabetes including a link to a free low carb programme. Have a good read round the forum too and ask any questions you may have, someone will always answer. You will find lots of support here, good luck!

Cutting the carbs has helped. I am sure of that. My bmi is 29 and I am getting it down.
I see this as a bit of a slap on the back of the head, a wake up call to start eating healthier and exercising more. I need to break the old habits and welcome in the new !!! Hopefully by doing this I can control my diabetes
