[bookwormy]

I was 1st diagnosed and told by phone message that I had Type 2 on April 17th and was prescribed medication to my local pharmacy. My daughter insisted on a meter and I procured one from my dr. the next day.
A1C 13.3
BG 377
Metformin 500 at pm
Actos 15 at am
At the 2month mark my numbers were "terrible" and he called me in to discuss meds.
A1C 10.2
BG 110
Metformin 1000 at pm
Actos 30 at am
add Metformin 500 at am after 2 weeks
After reading this forum within 2 weeks of diagnosis I changed my life. Totally low card diet (less than 60 carbs a day) and watched calories. Exercise 30 minutes a day. Lost 31 pounds.
At 3rd month mark.
A1C 6.6
BG 88
How's that!
Thanks to all of you even though my dr. says it is the medicine.

Good work. My guess is, low carb did it for you.
