| rule number 1 - hang out at Df!!
rule number two - no waiting around for doctors.
rule number three, what are you realtives numbers like, chances are good they are not great. so don't necassarily take advice from other diebetics without knowing what progress has been.
get a meter of your own. have the doctor call it in.
cut carbs ALOT. ALOT. no sugar. and test before food and 2 hours after and fasting. ultimatley you want to be under 100 fasting and under 140 at the 2 hour mark
6. this takes different people different time to attain. my body was slow. (ac's in signature) I went to under 50 carbs a day and still it took months. but most people are quicker. look for numbers that are heading in the right direstion at first.
7. metformin can take up to 6 weeks to have a good effect.
8 excercize.
I have pages of opinions and advice but I better let other people talk now.
WELCOME!!!!!! Hurray!!! you have arrived!!
