Hi my name is Robin. I had been in the category of pre-diabetic for about a year. My A1C had been at 6.1 for the last year. At my last testing it came in at 7.4. Not too high but if I have read correctly this puts me in the Diabetes Type II catagory.
I have started eating lower carbs and my blood sugar has come down from over 300 to around 150-180 average.
My question is should I be on medication? I am trying to bring things down through diet. Have not started exercise yet. I am afraid that with the A1C at this number that I might be damaging internal organs. My doctor wants to wait another three months to test again. Should I question this?
I have been watching what I eat for about three or four weeks now and I am still not getting what would be called good numbers.
I apologize if this is a really stupid question, but any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
Robin
