[QUOTE="Jacqr47, post: 1074296, member: 274287"] Hi Tanya, I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 6/7 weeks ago. I had many symptoms which I thought were menopausal but also some that didn't fit. I had bloods done and they showed I was menopausal but like you, also diabetic. My Hba1c was 70. I cut out all obvious refined sugars immediately and looked at lowering fat intake. I have lost 16lbs and really felt better. I'm taking Metformin 500mg four times a day. I had a finger prick test the other day for the first time and showed 6.6 which someone said was good. However, I have never had my urine tested and have been told testing my blood is not necessary. I am a bit confused sometimes but have read lots and am doing my best in my own way. I hope you get your results sorted. Let us know. Jacqr47 [/QUOTE]
