Newbie here though have been lurking for a long time!
Diagnosed T2 in Oct 2015 with HbA1c of 61. Tough love and a prescription for Slimming World from GP saw nearly 2.5 stone lost and HbA1C down to 40 and still there two years later (lots of exercise too). So far so good....then in Oct 2017 had nasty fall resulting in quadruple shoulder fracture requiring surgery. In a sling for 8 weeks, no driving for 12 and feeling very sorry for myself (!) seeing all my good work slip away as I sat on the sofa and ‘treated’ myself with naughty food. Six months later I have put a stone on and glucose levels currently not in control. Have never self tested but bought kit last week and Fri night saw 7.7mmol before dinner and 12.5mmol 2 hours after. So...can I get back on track with diet alone or am I destined to return to GP to start medication? Any advice much appreciated, needless to say I am back in the zone! Thank you.
