Hello,
I have been diagnosed with T2D in the spring of 2007 with my A1C at 6.2, simply by chnace while getting endo help for what they thought was Hashimoto. While reviewing my follow-up labs with the Dr., i noticed slightly elevated fasting glucose level (111), i asked if this was something to worry about, considering that my brother was diagnosed with T1D 2 months earlier ( so I was sensitive to the topic). Dr sent me for tolerance test, sure enough.......I was a diabetic!
I read tons of stuff on the net and refused drugs, asking Dr to let me low card diet and exercise. My A1C got to 5.2 within months. But i barely ate any carbs, exercised like crazy etc.
Now my stats are worse, (oscillating between 5.8 - 6.2), mostly cuz i work long hours and exercise less, 'cheat" every now and then and have a low sugar cake or something.
looking to go back to my routine , some fresh ideas etc.
