[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1563885, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome aboard! An HbA1c of 54 isn't too drastic and you have every chance of getting that down to non-diabetic levels .... but not in 2 weeks! The second test is just to confirm the first to make sure you haven't been mis-diagnosed. In all probability it will be much the same. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that will require a change in eating habits and some added exercise, not just for a few weeks, but possibly the rest of your life if you want to see non-diabetic levels and keep them there. Some lucky people have reversed their Type 2, so it is entirely possible. Have a good read round the forums to see how others manage, read Daisy's post when it arrives, and follow the links [USER=379847]@AM1874[/USER] has given you. The best advice is to buy a meter. These are essential as they can teach you which of your food choices are causing your blood sugar levels to rise so you can do something to change carbohydrate portion size or eliminate some completely. We can show you how to do this if/when you get a meter. All you have to do is ask. [/QUOTE]
