Hi folks, I joined a while ago but thought I would wait until I was one year diagnosed before posting.
I have type 2 diabetes. On diagnosis my hbac1 was 56. Six months later it was down to 46, and now at my annual review it is back up to 54.
I have made every effort with exercise but would give myself 3 out of 10 for effort with diet.
My diabetes nurse has suggested I go on Metformin at 500 mg per day. Which I understand is a low dose.
They are going to review again in 3 months.
Anyway, it is all about personal responsibility and I am going to try much harder to eat the right foods. I have been going to the gym regularly, but it seems fitness without eating properly doesn't get blood sugar results.
All the best folks!
