But after two days after diagnosis, my BG IS reduced to 143 and then (maybe another day after) is 100. And now only 70-94. I lose 2 stones already. And my diet is very strict.
With A1c of 8.4% and BG of 202, a few days of metformin is not going to bring it down. You would usually need consistently good glucose control for 3 months to bring down the A1c to non-diabetic levels.
For that you would need a combination of carbs reduction and intermittent fasting. Without the intetmittently fasting, it will be a more gradual process... 6-9 months...
I am not sure what the conversion factor is, but my doctor said that my Hba1c was very bad at 91 in UK terms - and I stopped taking the tablets after about 5 weeks of total misery, went on diet alone, no fasting at all, a bit more exercise but that was because I had more energy, and I got down (just) to prediabetic in 80 days - easy. I even experimented and got high BG levels when checking just how bad for me some foods are.
Low carb eating is very very effective in lowering BG levels.
It is a shock when you get that diagnosis. But that might help in making you determined to beat it. You seem to be doing well with your bg levels and weight reduction. I'm sure you can beat this.
But you are exactly like other young people - but if you are 18 you are not a kid.
At 18 I left home, got married, had my own flat, a motorbike and a small yacht - I was a responsible person in charge of my own destiny and saving up to buy a house of my own.
I am 66 years old now, and I makes sure I do not need to take meds, I take precautions so I stay alive and healthy.
I bought the house, sold the yacht and the motorbike, bought a car - worked hard.
Today I bought a new drum and tomorrow I am going to play it for dancing to celebrate May Day.
Is there the faintest possibility that this is a troll?
8.4 is high but depends on what sugar u took over last 2 monthsBecause during the time of my testing. My BG IS 202. And they said my A1c is 8.4%.
I already accept it. But my family didn't. So I have to do it.

If you are able to maintain this level for 3 months, then you should be able to see normal non-diabetic HbA1c levels and possibly remain medication free.
