Hello to all from the southeastern USA. I was diagnosed with type 2 in May of this year. A1C was 7.4. Fasting blood glucose was around 145. I am as of yet, not insulin dependent, and I am on metformin 750 extended release. After some initial issues with side effects, seem to be tolerating it well now. I have lost 20 pounds of excess weight since diagnose after cutting way down on carbs, and seem to have more energy. I am optimistic that my next checkup in September will show good results.
