| Welcome, Chief!
I've been there. I ate pretty much whatever I wanted and my HbA1c was still in the 5-6 range, so no harm, no foul, right? Except when my HbA1c crept up to 6.9 and suddenly it wasn't a game of what I could get away with anymore.
So now I'm back to square one, testing to see what my body can handle and what I should shy away from. That and making sure I get some exercise in. I'm taking baby steps... parking further away, taking stairs, that sort of thing. But it's not easy and I'm quick to find an excuse - the other day I didn't go to the gym because my daughter had gotten into trouble at school and I didn't want to reward her with a trip to the pool. So, yeah, I've got a long way to go.
Geez, didn't mean to turn this into a confessional! I just wanted you to know that some of us have been there. I wish I could say I got my diagnosis and life changed instantly but that's not how it happened. There's lots of good info here and I've found it very helpful!
