I was diagnosed 3 months ago with a blood sugar reading of 25.3. My first Hba1c was 102. I am on Metformin and Vildagliptin. My diet was very healthy in quality - I just ate too much of it. I did quite a lot of hill walking, but irregularly. I now walk 10,000 steps a day and have started jogging at the age of 62. I have reduced portions. My Hba1c today was 45 so am feeling very happy.
