Hi

I'm newly diagnosed ( 1 week ago ) with Type2 after high fasting results and a GTT test
I've not even seen my Diabetic Nurse yet, but it's given me a fright, so I've cut my sugar and Starch intake, even before I've spoke to her.
I've just received a free meter from Wavesense, and done my first test, and is showed 4.4
This seems low, I was expecting much higher, not sure what to make of it.

Can anybody comment.

All depends exactly when you tested.........? Fasting, pre-meal, post meal ??? If after what type of meal ?

Pre meal sounds fine........as a T2 should be between 4 - 7 mmol/l.
Post meal (2 hrs) should be no moe than 8.5 mmol/l. Lower is better.
