When you were diagnosed with diabetes how long did it take for you to get your blood sugar under control and in range? And how did you achieve this; through meds, diet, exercise or all three?
 
It's a long, long story read my first blog! link below.

Oh yeah, I'm not diabetic!

I'm weird!
 
I was diagnosed with an HbA1c of 88 in April.

A month later I was regularly gettings readings in the 5's. My Fasting levels remained higher than that until about September, and are now usually in the high 4's low 5's.

I started on 3x500g Metformin immediately after diagnosis and ditched virtually all Carbs as well from that day.

My HbA1c 3 months after diagnosis was 32
