Hi all,
I am aged 31 and it was a shock to be diagnosed with an A1C of 70mmol and a second of 65mmol a short time after. The second test was because I had no symptoms.
I have never posted hear but I have been reading lots on the forum.
After taking action straight away and losing around 3 stone my results have come back at 34mmol!
I got myself a Code Free SD meter straight away and got to work. So I had an idea that I was going to be well within the 'healthy range'.
I will add that the first few weeks, I was really strict with the low carbing but I tested a bit with adding some carbs and also beer at the weekend and all my tests for fasting, pre meal, and several tests after a meal (dependant on what I've had) shows that my body appears to be reacting as a non diabetic.
I just want to thank everyone on here for their advice (although not directly to me as I haven't posted). Its still very early days and I'm well aware that if I went back to my old ways then, ill be back in the same position again.
So ill continue to monitor but maybe just not so obsessively as I was with my meter (checking more than 10 times a day on certain days)
There is hope out there for all!

you are on the right path. Just don’t back to old life style. More or less I have been thru the same. I am controlling my BG w/o meds for last 13 years,
