[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1919909, member: 355878"] Firstly - you can do a lot to improve things in general by getting your blood glucose into the normal range - if you are lucky. My Hba1c was 91 and at diagnosis blood glucose was 17.1, but I cut down on carbs from the moment of diagnosis and soon saw much better numbers. It is something you need to fine tune for yourself, best done with a meter so you can check to see how you are doing. Cutting out bread and potatoes, pasta, pastry, oats and rice is often a good start - and sugary foods too - that should make a big difference. Hopefully you will be able to tolerate the Metformin, as some people have problems with the side effects. [/QUOTE]
