Hello!
I'm BessyBell and I was kinda diagnosed with T2 diabetes on Monday. I had blood work done about two weeks ago and the doctors office called with the results on Monday. Since it was the nurse giving me the results, I think she was hesitant to say "you are diabetic".
Anyway she said my NON-fasting BG was 248 and my A1c was 9.0 (it was 8.9 in April).
She told me I was to start taking 500mg metformin with my evening meal and testing my BG in the morning and about an hour after dinner.
I was a little late with my first reading (almost 2 hours after dinner) but here's what I've gotten:
193 2 hrs after dinner
196 morning fasting
187 1 hr after dinner
175 morning fasting (this morning)
Anyway, I've posted on another forum and didn't feel comfortable. So, I thought I'd try out this place.
I see an endocrinologist on Monday, any input on what I should expect?
