So, newly diagnosed as type 2 on 30th April with hb1ac of 96. Once I calmed down I immediately started LCHF diet (which is going ok so far) and given metformin starting at 1 a day increasing week to week until 4 per day (currently on 2 per day). Although I have appointments with nurse and clinic, these are not until June.
I’m not happy about taking medication and want to control (and hopefully go into remission) this through diet and exercise.
So I bought a blood glucose meter to check the effects of various foods which arrived today.
I tested before first meal of day and the result is 6.5 mmol/l which is apparently normal. Can this be correct? I thought with such a high hb1ac level it would be higher?
Can anyone please advise me?
Thank you
