[QUOTE="miahara, post: 2307517, member: 256148"] Hi [USER=519398]@Mscmhs1[/USER] . You are in exactly the same boat as countless others in being somewhat dismayed with your diagnosis. Now, to start with, a diagnosis of T2D ought not to carry any stigma apart from that from those who are ignorant and they don't really matter at all. The fact that you are also trying to manage ADHD makes you challenge a bit more difficult. However the numbers you are recording are actually pretty darn good and if I could manage to get those I'd be a very happy chappie. It's a really shame you can't get a decent face to face chat with your GP, but the nurse if a specialsit diabetes nurse possibly understands diabetes better than your GP. (my GP was very nice but cluesless). As far as testing goes, I'd suggest you test just before meals and then 1 hour and 2 hours (or 3 hrs) after, keep a record of the levels and record your carb intake and that will let you see how various food impact on your levels. No apology needed for a rant - it's not a bad thing to vent now and then! Here's a link to a chart that may help clarify levels _ [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/what-is-hba1c.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
