Hello all! My name is Jimmy and I was diagnosed as a Type 2 in November of this past year. I had an idea for about 4 years that I was border line and tried to control it with diet and exercise, but I started slacking and decided to see a doctor.
Doc has me on Levemir and Janumet for right now. I was 10.5 on my AC1 and my 12 hour fasting glucose was 212…I find out this afternoon what my exercise and diet have done for me. I’ve lost 30 lbs, so I’m currently 6’1" and 202.5. My goal is 195.
I’m a 3rd generation diabetic, with my father having Type 2 for 35 years and my grandfather having it for an unkown amount of time. I’m 36, so I hope to be able to manage this, get off of my meds and stay off for as long as I can.
