just diagnosed
 

Hi, I'm 49, active and a thin diabetic. Went to Dr relating to another health issue and just so happened to mention I was peeing a lot and so thirsty. He tested my blood and I was over 600. My a1c is 9.5. I have yet to get my blood glucose below 200 and have made major changes to diet etc, how long did it take to get control of this??

Welcome to the Forum! :)

It can take up to 30 days for some of the med's to get into your system. Hang in there.

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

Are you on Metformin? It took me about 3 weeks to get things under control.
