[QUOTE="Burg, post: 1301821, member: 352170"] Greetings. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.My hba1c was 76. I have had regular medical checks for over 10 years and this news was a big surprise.On asking I learned my last reading from 2 years ago was 50.That's an issue I will address later. I wouldn't have classified my lifestyle as risky although not ideal.Very little alcohol, no sweetened drinks, takeaways less than monthly,normal home cooked diet of meat and 2 veg and attended gym 2 to 4 times a week for last 13 years.My big weakness would have been bread at up to 6 or 8 slices a day, but less than than that on average.Cake or biscuits were indulged in sometimes only.Anyway it is what it is and I must now deal with it. At present I am concentrating on my sugar and carb intake.My gym membership has just expired and am looking at my options with that.In the meantime I am walking for an hour a day.I am not home blood testing,just keeping carbs and sugar to a minimum.No bread,potato,rice,cakes biscuits,pastry and being careful of everything I eat.I have lost 4 or 5 kilos so far. BMI 27. Anyway, I am totally focused on controlling this without drugs, however accept I will use them if needed. [/QUOTE]
