Hey everyone, I was diagnosed as T2 just before Christmas - Happy Christmas to me LOL!
My HbAc test came back at 77 and fasting blood tests in the morning were at 12 / 13.
The diabetic nurse at out practice told me to come back for my next blood test in 3 months and in the meantime to try and get my weight down and to reduce my sugar levels.
My husband is also diabetic (diagnosed approx 6 years ago in Feb) so we have focused on managing this together.
Over the last 2 months I've lost 18 lbs (still a long way to go) and I am using the various fitness programmes on the Wii to track my progress.
We have focused on reducing carbs and replacing with above ground vegetables and it seems to be working so far - I have been wanting to know my current blood sugar levels so have today ordered a meter so I can check my sugar levels and be more in control.
I also wanted to say that I have read through a lot of these forums and there seems to be a lot of good advice here - thanks all!
