Hi, just joined, diagnosed at the beginning of October, with a score of 62, received the letter and immediately went into panic, read as much as possible on the internet and had some questions answered on a different forum, started a low carb diet with low calorie intake and have so far lost some weight, feel a bit of a fraud as i do not feel ill, with the weight loss i feel better than i have for a long time, sleeping better with more energy. i refused meds and wanted to try exercise and diet, which my nurse thought was dubious, i have been checking my blood regularly and so far its been quite low, hopefully it all will result in a lower test score in the new year.

Hello @russgee , welcome to our friendly forum. Feel free to ask questions we’ll do our best to help.
A number of people on here manage their diabetes well by diet and exersize I hope you will be able to as well without finding the diet too restrictive/difficult.
It would be lovely to see the look of amazement on your nurses face at your next review.
