Newly Diagnosed - Am I at the right stage?

[NoCrbs4Me]

I do not intend to drop it majorly low immediately, but work it down to that level.

My doctors advice has pretty much been " don't drink coke" and very little else.

Now that i had these tests, all I have been told to do is to come back in 3 months to have my Hba1c redone. Apart from that I am being left to my own devices.

That sounds like pretty standard treatment protocol for type 2. My doctor did not even bother to tell me I had type 2 at first, then when he did, there was no advice given except that he wrote a prescription for metformin. Then when I asked for a referral to a specialist and started asking other questions he told me to find a new doctor! That turned out to be the best advice he gave me.

Anyway, in addition to Daisy1's advice, you may find the "Blood Sugar 101" website useful: http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/
