I hate to agree, however that's just about right....I'm on 500MG of Metformin twice a day....I was eating like ****!!! I knew I was taking in too much sugar....when he diagnosed me(type2), and put me on that crap, I cleaned up my diet, started going to the gym...I cut the dose by one pill(didn't tell Dr) went back, and I was at 5.7...BTW you can't be checked but every 6 months.....the change will not show up any faster...Type 2 diabetes is a choice brother.
Eat clean meats and fats and cut out all carbohydrates.
Or start a never ending diabetes+ subscription plan from big pharma that keeps you medicated till you get dementia and die.
Choice is yours.
clean up your diet, loose some weight, and get some exercise...I treadmill 2X per week....for 45-60 minuets...it's ABOUT YOUR HERT RATE.... you gotta get the heart up to your designated exercise speed or your not really doing anything for yourself....2x is only BARELY enough, I need to add another day....
Quitting sugar is the hardest thing I've ever had to kick...it makes stopping smoking look like a walk in the park....THE CRAVING NEVER STOPS!! even after two years....IT NEVER STOPS!!!
what ever your age...think of your poor pancreas!!! mine is 69 years old, and it needs a bit of help!!!
