[QUOTE="Bex72, post: 2359786, member: 528595"] Hello Fendertele, I was diagnosed in August 2020, my hbA1c was in the 70s and my vision very blurry. I now have a blood glucose level in a non diabetic range and have achieved this with low carb eating. I took Metformin for 6 days and it made me feel very sick. I then used the diet to put a stop to sugar spikes. I lost weight, increased my activity level (using the Couch to 5k app) and feel very well now. I am no longer plagued by migraines either. It took probably a month to get my head around the diagnosis and change in diet. If you try low carb it helps to plan ahead with meals. There is a world of information and friendly advice on this website. For me low carb eating is not difficult as you don't get as hungry. When you eat carbs (e.g. White rice) you get sugar highs and lows. It's the subsequent sugar crash after a high that makes you hungry. I purchased some low carb and keto cook books. I read Michael Mosley Blood sugar diet and also Tom Watson's Downsizing. I wish you well. [/QUOTE]
