Well, my first appt. went very well. I love my new doc and he said we are going to deal with this in baby steps. First of all, I got my meter and have learned how to use it. Second, I'm awaiting an appt. with the dietician and diabetes counselor.
Other than that, he said keep taking the metformin, pay attention to my diet and get more excercise. He told me he would be happy with 30 min. of bike riding 4 times per week to start.
I see him again in 2 weeks.
Came home and used my meter for the first time and got a reading of 9.8 before supper. Will check again two hours after supper. Last Wednesday it was 18. So that's a start!
