Good Evening All, I was diagnosed as Type 2 yesterday. I guess I'm lucky that my doc persisted with tests - 5 weeks later as this is what he has ended up with. However, I don't seem to have any medication for diabetes, just blood pressure and cholesterol. Is it possible I might be able to turn it around with a better diet and more exercise? Anyone know this? Thank you in advance?

Yes, you can certainly help your condition by improving your diet and by excercising. 8) If you tell us what is a typical day’s diet at present and any other relevant information that will enable us to help you.

Can you give us your readings for HbA1c, BP & Chol? Also age, weight & typical diet.
It is certainly possible by diet & exercise to improve your condition, though you will need to consider yourself diabetic & eat accordingly for the rest of your life.
