[QUOTE="skas246, post: 728511, member: 137014"] Hello again, Well, I am back again to update you all!! My latest A1C is 6.5 so naturally I am chuffed to bits. still getting to grips with Carbs and how they eefect my post-prandials spikes, especially after breakfast, so decided to cut out ll cereals and just have backed beans, eggs and may be one slice of toast with olive oil spread. my averages pre and post-meals (2 hours latr0 are running in the mid 5 - 6.0 mmol, so my next A1c should be below 6.0%. MY Doctor says that i am doing well. I have come off teh metformin and I am trying to manage tis via diet alone with natural suplements like Bitter Melon. I am happy to ay that i am beginning to get teh hang of this though i must admit it is still hard work. I have also ,lost 16 pounds in weight, whihc helps tremendously. previous entry was Nov 1 was as follows: Hi All I an newly disgnosed T2 this Monday with 14.0% mmol and was in A&E Monday just gone with what teh medics said was a mini-stroke! To say that I was and remained freaked-out is an understatement to say the least. Someone please tell me it gets better as one learns more about it? I am on mertaformin 1000mgs but I am thinking that is to high a dose and that i should use a natural alternative - what do people think? And what is the best way to handle anxiety relating to being mewly diagnosed? Much thanks [/QUOTE]
