Hello there, I have had 2 fasting results of 7.4 and 7.6, cholesterol is 7.6, I am 38, very overweight and my HbA1C is 6.1.
Good news is, since undergoing tests 5 weeks ago, I have lost 11lbs and qualify for a lap band, so I am looking into that, as my doctor said it might reverse the symptons totally (obvious not cure). I thought I'd be upset but I feel spurred on.
I have a friend who has type 2, she has had it for 15 years without needing meds, so I have very good support there.
I hope to learn as much as possible and to to keep myself as well as possible.
Wish I could stop feeling so tired though....
