I don't know if I should be reading here. I'm starting to panic a bit. I have an average blood glucose of about 160ish right now. I thought that I was doing well, since it used to be 200 less than a month ago. I was diagnosed in late April. I have lost 16 lbs., but I do need to exercise more. I am a kindergarten teacher, so I am pretty wiped when I get home. The beginning of the year is the roughest. The reason I am panicking is that I thought it would take 1-2 months to bring my levels down. Then I read on here, it's way too high for someone who has been diagnosed for a week. I am taking Janumet. I will see my Dr. at the end of this month. She would like to see my A1C below 7. My diabetes book says that you will see that when your ranges are between 140 and 170. I would like to get it down to less than 120, but I assumed that would take time. I also got a blister on my toe from my shoes. It did look infected when I saw it, but it is much better now. How do I know when to worry about that? This is so overwhelming.
I'm sorry to keep asking for advice when I can't really offer any.
