[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1893906, member: 400972"] Hi IronLioness and welcome! You are indeed just into the level for a diagnosis of diabetes. My reading was 70 on diagnosis to put it in perspective, others are higher still at the start. I put my diabetes into remission with Metformin (a mild drug compared to others) but mainly by reducing my carb intake. I started by keeping under 100g/day and gradually over the months reduced to 50g/day, which is where I stay to keep my blood sugars at non diabetic levels. I self fund testing kit to keep a check on things. I don’t go to the gym but feel way more energetic these days. Have a read around the forums and come back with any questions you may have. Edit to add that I lost a shed load of weight without even trying ! [/QUOTE]
