Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="NoCrbs4Me" data-source="post: 704785" data-attributes="member: 113206">Welcome!  Yes, it's a lot to take in.  A few of points:  1. Get a copy of your lab results.  That will really help when you are asking questions on the forum and doing your own research online.  Your surgery will print one for you.2. The 79 is most likely NOT your fasting test result, but more likely your HbA1c result.  79 mmol/mol is quite high.3. Get a personal blood glucose meter.  You need to monitor what foods cause your blood glucose to spike and reduce or eliminate them from your diet.4. Your doctor prescribed a statin most likely because the official protocols call for lower cholesterol levels for diabetics than nondiabetics.  It would be useful to have your lab results for this.5. Consider a low carb/high fat diet.  For me, this lowered my blood glucose, lowered my weight, lowered my blood pressure, and improved my cholesterol numbers.6. Personally, I found this site the most useful starting point with respect to type 2 diabetes:  <a href="http://www.phlaunt.com/" target="_blank">http://www.phlaunt.com/</a>7. Good luck and keep coming back to this forum.</blockquote>
