| | | 361....but that wasn't from a blood draw...just a meter. They never did an a1c until I went to a new doctor a year or so later and got a correct dx...it was 12 at that point. He didn't do a fasting, so I don't know how high it was by then.

| | | I never had a fasting blood sugar at diagnosis, but after I started insulin I had a fasting bg test of 175 just to "confirm" the dx. |

I don't know what mine was, but my sister was HI (over 500) then 494 a few minutes later on my home meter. We called my doc, gave her a dose of Humalog and she was in the mid 200's an 2 hours or so later at the hospital.

| | | My FBG was 300...A1C of 13...and just to celebrate my new diagnosis..I went to Chick Fil-a and downed a chicken egg and cheese bagel (it was awesome)...Then..I sat back...took a deep breath...and learned many new things about my new condition. Six weeks later..I am down 25 pounds and average daily BG levels are in the mid 90s...This is based on testing in the morning...2 hours after breakfast...2 hours after lunch and 2 hours after dinner...and some times I throw in a random test...The metformin (2x500) is doing its job...but I think the excersize and diet are contributing quite a bit too...The number one thing to have a positive attitude...you have a choice...Let it control you...or you can control it. My goal...50 more pounds off and hopefully Metformin goes away...at least until I get a little older...Right now diabetes has been a good thing...I am losing weight...and I feel great...and I am still eating tasty meals...just ones I would not have thought of before...I feel better than I have in the last 10 years...its hard work...but life is worth it..  |
