Just diagnosed 2 days ago. Feeling awful about it. In between bouts of crying and changing my mind on whether to tell my family (husband and son know) as just feel that I will get a lot of judgement.
My HBA1c was 76. Not sure how long I've had high levels but im assuming a while given the numbers. My doc has not yet put me on metformin. They want to see me in 2 months and in the meantime have an appt with the nurse in 2 weeks. I am assuming to see if I can make any positive change myself without medication. Considering mounjaro but am not keen on shakes and soup regime they told me about.
Have stopped diet coke
started drinking water, bought a walking pad and have great intentions of changing eating habits ( went shopping to stock up) but just hope i can stick at it. Have bought a glucose monitor- coming tomorrow
Just looking for guidance and support really. I hope i can do this. Why no medication? Should I consider mounjaro? How do you track what you eat and ensure low sugar, high fibre, low carbohydrate, high protein all the while trying the loose weight......its all very overwhelming.
