No diabetes I can find within family but had Gestational with both my pregnancies. Youngest child being 8. My doctor perscribed me Diabex and told me to go about my day but watch what I eat. He also told me not to rush out and buy a BSL monitor - which I did!

I weighed 355lbs and was prescribed metformin 500mg 2x a day. It did nothing. <br /><br />In 2007 I started exercising regularly and following the ADA exchange diet and lost 120lbs. At the start of my diet change and exercise my A1Cs were 6.0 and fasting sugars 100. <br /><br />It's been three years now and my levels have always beenCaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968809671040078924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-52650957524282920112009-08-28T08:54:03.259-04:002009-08-28T08:54:03.259-04:00Oh BTDT, can't get test strips and now my acce...Oh BTDT, can't get test strips and now my access to A1c is being limited to "save" money, which is then spent on statins.
