I was diagnosed 12/4. I started taking Metformin immediately and dieting. So far, I’ve lost 10 pounds and my morning BG was 108 today. I know this is just the beginning of a lifelong journey, but I’m encouraged by how rapidly my bg dropped (it was 267 when I was diagnosed). My husband is being great, encouraging me with my diet and comforting me when I’m down. All in all, I’ll get by.
