Hello from a newbie
 

Hi there!

My name is Gen and I was diagnosed last week with Type 2. I had been feeling tired even though I was getting what I thought was decent sleep, making frequent trips to the restroom and noticed my legs/ankles were starting to swell over my socks. I made an appointment to have a full blood panel and when I went for my results, the doc said my fasting bs was 197 but he was most concerned with my a1c of 8.1 :eek:. He is pretty confident that proper diet and exercise, along with shedding weight, will bring me back to normal.

So here I am!

Welcome to the Forum! :)

You came to the right place, we are all here for the same reason. Take a look at the first three threads in the Type 2 Section. That is on of the best places to start with your education. Good luck with your control and management.
