I don't get any advice or support from my practice, I just go in for them to do the monitoring (which is more in their interests than mine). 90% of what I know I learnt on this forum.  Your readings are exactly what mine were nearly five years ago. The good news is that there is something you can do - you've had the link to the "nutritional thingie" - and I found that low carb (very low in my case, 20g/day) worked a treat. Having been diagnosed in January, my a1c was 36 (non-diabetic) in April.  I'd probably been diabetic for about ten years before diagnosis  and had a large number of symptoms. These have gone for the most part (I have some permanent damage)  but the minot stuff left is nothing like what I had with higher BG levels. best of luck. This forum is a great resource.  Ask as many questions as you need to.</blockquote>
