Message: <blockquote data-quote="SLOM74" data-source="post: 1947773" data-attributes="member: 497603">ON THE nineth of this month I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. MY HBA1C WAS 6.5 PERCENT OR  48. MY DOCTOR HAS NOT been supportive or all that helpful. The only thing he has done that was helpful to me was not set me off on medication right away.  I am overweight and 44   YEARS OLD. I've CUT refined sugar out of my diet and curtailed  carbs from my diet. The thing is that my   meter which I bought on my own SHOWS my blood glucose ACTING normal. MY DOCTOR never suggested my blood glucose needed testing.  I have had readings as low as 4.2 for my fasting level in the morning with the highest at 5.6. I  TEST 2 hours after every meal and my highest spike was 6.8. I ATE like **** before with too much soda and sweets. Is it possible for my hba1c to be 6.5 and still be prediabetic or is it just my body responding to the diet. AM getting a new go after Christmas cause this one would nor refer me to a dietician or diabetic educator until I made another appointment and asked.Merry Christmas to all and thank you for any help or advice you can give me.</blockquote>
