Hello everyone!
I'm a newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetic. Along w/ my new diagnosis of diabetes, I was also diagnosed w/ Hypertension and Heart disease all of this at 40 years of age.. I am also a Cancer survivor 6 years post Colon cancer stage 3 Dx@ 33years old. I think I should change my screen name to Timex.. (I take a licking and keep on ticking) :)
I am currently taking Metformin 850mg 2 times a day. Lisinopril 10 mg, 1 time a day and Lopresser 25mg 2 times a day. My 1st A1c came back as 7.2 but since diagnosis my bg has not been above 209 2hrs post meal. and generally is staying around 124. Diet changes have begun to do the deed of getting the pounds to come off. My goal is to hopefully be able to control the bg's w/ diet and exercise to eventually get off of the metformin and blood pressure meds altogether.
That's about it for now. Glad to have a forum to turn to for info and help.
Cheers!:tee:
