Newly diagnosed on Friday, little to no info from Doctor, is that normal?

Thanks Mike, good to know you're in range and the low carb helped. I think I'll be doing the same, low carb, I'll aim for a high protein diet for now and see what the levels are like. I'm back home now so I'll be back in the gym tomorrow and lifting. I'll test before and after to try and get a gauge on the levels and if they're affected. All still so new, so so much to learn/understand..
 
You might get an initial rise followed by a drop a little later. Don’t get disheartened by a single post workout reading. Take a series over multiple workouts.
I'm on the case, I have my BG monitor now, did initial test and was 7.8 and that was without exercise and pre dinner, but after a long drive home. Tomorrow I start checking and testing in earnest. Need to knuckle down and see what works. Thanks for the info, it's much appreciated!
