Hello Spitfire,
I got told I was diabetic and my 1st ever HbA1C was 6.6 and I was put on Metformin.. Was also told to take Satins and Blood Pressure meds..
I said to the nurse that I would, but have not taken any as yet.. As I am waiting for my next 6 month blood works test and will re-assess this myself.
My personal view is that doctors and Nurses are always too fast to put us on drugs, my view is that WE are in control of our own health and we should always try to makes changes..
My changes are going Low carb, stopping smoking, exercising more, less stress and using my blood sugar meter...
I should be having my blood works done in about 6 to 8 weeks... SO I guess time will tell.
Good luck with things and keep happy.
Cheers
