Ha ha, it doesn't take long before you come to the dark side! Do whatever feels comfortable to you (within reason of course!) It must be difficult for you adjusting being newly diagnosed and all. Any questions or just want to chat, drop by and say hi. Take care

My first 3 month checkup

I had my first 3 monthly checkup wih my GP this morning since being diagnosed on the 3rd April 2009 (2 days off April Fool's day - how ironic). My HbA1c then was 9.3. Three months later I'm down to an almost respectable 6.2 and have shed around 10Kg. It's amazing what a bit of exercise, a healthy diet and 1000mg of Metformin a day can do.
