[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1791405, member: 400972"] Hi Berliner and welcome. I started with an HbA1c of 70 last May, so close to yours. You can probably get that down with low carb eating alone. However I wanted to get my levels down as quickly as possible, but I didn’t go for the "aggressive new treatment that makes you pee like a horse", I was offered Metformin, much less aggressive, I embarked on low carb eating and self monitoring. I had a few stomach issues to begin from the Met. but no side effects whatsoever now. You definitely should have had eye scan, foot check and the offer of a Diabetes study session by now. Plus they should have advised when to go back for a review, usually 3 monthly to begin with. [/QUOTE]
