    New diagnosis. confused

    Hello, Merry Christmas everyone! I'll try to be short and concise. 10 days ago (Friday 13th, talk about bad luck) I have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, with two blood tests resulting in HbA1c level 48mmol/mol. It's very strange because I was prediabetic for 2 years, I haven't tried to...

    Hello from trying-to-avoid-meds diet-only 55-yr-old type 2

    Hello, I was diagnosed six years ago, quite by accident as I was having other blood tests, requested a cholesterol test and the nurse said "let's do a blood sugar test as well". The result came back with a fasting sugar level of 8.1 and another later at 7.8. I was put on an exercise and...
