moonchildeSorry I never got around to this!
When were you diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes?
In mid December, 2008.
Had you had symptoms before you were diagnosed?
Yep and I didn't want to acknowledge them. Blurred vision, extreme thirst, weight loss, shortness of breath.
What were your initial BGs?
My first one was something like 540. Freaked the doctor out. The second one was 325, so there was no doubt. And I kind of knew....
Are you on diet/exercise only, d/e plus oral meds, all of the above plus insulin...?
Right now I'm on 2000 mg of metformin a day, and I'm only eating a fraction of the carbs I ate pre-diagnosis. That's not as virtuous as it sounds, because prior to last December, I never met a carb I didn't like.
