Hi, My levels were 6.7. I am diet controlled. I am overweight, but only by a couple of stone. I weigh 15 stone, and should be 13 stone. I have been a bad boy eating ridiculous amounts of sweet things. I quit alcohol three years ago, and don't smoke.
 
Well done so far. Your bs are good large amounts of sweets not so good and giving up alcohol is fantastic. If you can reduce your weight to closer to normal there is a better chance of keeping away from taking tablets or at least delay the progress. Exercise is always a good idea if you can nothing too strenuous tho at least to start with. One of the best helpful tips I've heard is too much carbs are as bad as eating a bowl of sugar. This is because carbs break down almost immediately into glucose. So if you eat lots of things like bread and potatoes you will need to have much smaller portions. Do this slowly if you cannot reduce your food at once. Even too much veg and fruit has to be

......curbed I'm afraid. Try asking your Gp to refer you to the Expert Patient Course for diabetes as i found it invaluable especially as always newcomer to diabetes, before you pick up any bad habits lol. I have been diabetic for 10 years now and one can always learn something new every day lol. There is so much more to learn and gradually you will, just make sure you don't ever panic and try and find yourself a support network and if you have a local Community diabetic clinic then start there as they are usually full of info and tips. Hope this has helped you a bit
